Happy Fourth of July

Have a Glorious Fourth!

Old Glory waving in the breeze

This year, more than others, we should remember this:

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

May the words of freedom give heart to those struggling under tyrannies everywhere, but especially in Iran.

    My family defended this country’s fight for freedom in the beginning.
    They still do.

    Little guy Orange helped with this post. Insisted on adding his 2 whiskers worth. Cats are always involved in freedom.

    True freedom exists in the only country with a written constitution. Go America!
