That which distinguishes this day from all others is that then both orators and artillerymen shoot blank cartridges.

Where liberty dwells, there is my country.

It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

My patriotic heart beats red, white, and blue.
