I consider myself to be very patriotic and I just wanted to mention a statement from this document that I am sure we are all familiar with."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."
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
The past has shown us that we as Americans have the powers to change our destinies. When we see wrong we cam make it right. We don't give up and we only become stronger if we stick together.
If everyone just took a minute, a moment of pause if you wish to remember what we have and how we kept it than I'm sure the day would mean just that much more.
