`FOURTH OF JULY IS INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Independence Day Honors The Birthday of The United States of America
and The Adoption of The Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
It's a Day of Picnics and Patriotic Parades, a Night of Concerts
and Fireworks, and a Reason to Fly The American Flag.

Home Of The Declaration of Independence!
Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776,
The Declaration of Independence is at once the nation's
most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument.
Here, in exalted and unforgettable phrases,
Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts
of the American people.
The political philosophy of the Declaration was not new;
its ideals of individual liberty had already been expressed by John Locke
and the Continental philosophers.
What Jefferson did was to summarize this philosophy in "-evident truths"
and set forth a list of grievances against the King
in order to justify before the world the breaking of ties between the colonies
and the mother country
(Adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776)
The Unanimous Declaration
of the Thirteen United States of America
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary
for one people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with another, and to assume among
the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station
to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them,
a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes which impel them
to the separation.
'Declaration of Independence of America's Great Freedom Document'
We hold these truths to be -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.
That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends,
it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles
and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely
to effect their safety and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should
not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience
hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing
the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism,
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government,
and to provide new guards for their future security.
--Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now
the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government.
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment
of an absolute tyranny over these states.
To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

Challenger - Amazing Free-Flying Bald Eagle -
Bald Eagle Music Video "This Is America" (AEF)
He's a 'human-socialized' bird accidentally raised by the people who rescued
Him - after being blown from a wild Louisiana nest in a storm as a baby in
The late 1980s. Declared 'non-releasable' by federal and state wildlife
Authorities, he was trained by the AEF to perform educational free-flight
Demonstrations at high profile public events.
He's the first Bald Eagle in U.S. History that learned to free-fly into
Stadiums, arenas and ballrooms during the singing of the Star Spangled
Banner. The celebrity eagle has appeared at numerous major sporting events
Like the World Series, Pro-Bowl, All-Star game, BCS National Championship,
Fiesta Bowl, Men's Final Four, etc.
Challenger has also flown before 4 U.S. Presidents!
His life story is told in a children's storybook titled 'Challenger,
America 's Favorite Eagle.'
God Bless America!
Have A Blessed and Safe 4Th Of July Weekend!
Honorably Presented
