Message from Chairman Joe
Gruters:
As we celebrate America’s Independence today, we memorialize
so much more than freedom from the tyranny of a distant king. We hold
closely to the soaring words from the Declaration of Independence: “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.” And we remember that the price of such liberty is eternal
vigilance, that even such beautiful and lofty ideals require defending
every generation. It is our turn. In this time of civic division and
attacks on our Founding from within, let us recommit to the towering
goals of the Declaration of Independence: Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness are God-given rights for everyone.
