July 4th each year is an appropriate time to celebrate the birth of this country by reading the Declaration of Independence, that includes this famous excerpt:

"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 to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...."

Take a few minutes on July 4, 2009 to read this historic document here for which the signers pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
