LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS: July 4, 1776

 HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!  

“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.”

(Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence-July 4, 1776)
