Happy Fourth of July to my fellow Americans, and to my fellow Americans in spirit.
Long may she wave!
Every year on this date, I post 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.
As is my custom, I’ll be heading out to Fort Lee to celebrate the Fourth on an Army base, surrounded by soldiers, flags, and extremely happy and patriotic Americans.
That’s it for the day. Go forth and enjoy!
You too Meryl !!
