July 4, 1776

OH, SAY CAN I SEE,

IT'S INDEPENDENCE DAY,

BORN ON JULY 4, 1776.

THE FOUNDING FATHERS

DECLARED THEIR INDEPENDENCE,

AND A NEW NATION WAS CREATED,

FOR FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY.


LEST WE NOT FORGET THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE

THAT LIVED ON THIS LAND FOR CENTURIES,

AND THE SLAVES WHICH EXISTED FOR DECADES.


WE THE PEOPLE,

IN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION,

AND A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE,

BY THE PEOPLE,

AND FOR THE PEOPLE.

LET'S CELEBRATE THIS DAY AND ITS HISTORY.

THE WARS FOUGHT FOR OLD GLORY.

LET'S KEEP FIGHTING,

FOR THE FREEDOM OF ALL HUMANITY!
