On this day...

... let us remember the men and women that pledged their lives and fortunes to the cause of individual rights.

I salute you.

Let us remember all the men and women that fought to protect the security of this country from would-be invaders and oppressors.

I salute you.

Let us remember ourselves--those of us that are pledged to fight for the cause of individual rights in the modern era both at home and abroad.

I salute you.

Happy Independence Day!
