4th of July - Independence Day
In the birthday of the United States, like every year, today History comes to our minds.
These are key paragraphs of the
Declaration of American Independence:
“We, therefore, the
Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress,
Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our
intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these
Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of
Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all
Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them
and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that
as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude
Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and
Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this
Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our
Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
From 1776 to 2015, a lot of
events modified the dimension and profile of the United States.
However, we remain as one of
leaders of the free world and strong supporter of the independence of the
countries.
We have to hope these great
principles continue directing the destiny of the United States.
Happy Independence Day!
Happy July 4th!
