LINCOLN, NE – Governor Jim Pillen has issued a proclamation marking Independence Day, in which he asked Nebraskans to take due notice of the federal holiday, display their American flags and reflect on the profound words of the Founding Fathers who declared: “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.”
