Happy 230th America!!

Two hundred thirty years ago, fifty-six men changed the history of the free world. In signing their names to a document that announced their independence from Great Britain, those brave men set in motion the ideals that shaped this nation, proclaiming:

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. (Link: Declaration of Independence)

Today, we gather with family and friends, share food and company, celebrate the birth of our great nation, and honor those courageous men and women who have given their very lives for the United Stated of America. So grab a burger, sip a coke, thank a veteran and have fun!

Happy 230th America!
