This Happy 4th of July 2007 video does a good job of summing up some of the traditional meanings of what Independence Day is about. I liked this video/song to show/hear some of the History of what it means to be Born in the USA but really there is much more to the freedoms that we as Americans take for granted, I believe.
The signing of United States Declaration of Independence which is explained quite thoroughly on this site: The National Archives Experience and the first sentence in the second paragraph is such a beautiful piece of writing, “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.”
Thanks for Listening,
Jeff
