Freedom
On July 4, 1776, our nation's forefathers drafted what is said to be one of the most beautiful and powerful literary works ever written in the English language; The Declaration of independence... which testified to the world the just cause of our separation from Great Britain and their tyrannical King. The second paragraph of this great historic document begins with these words...
