I like to mix it up and celebrate a president other than Lincoln and Washington. This year, I am honoring Thomas Jefferson, our third president. So while you are enjoying the annual White Sales and other discount shopping, here is something to chew on.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men. We...solemnly publish and declare, that these colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states...And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." —Thomas Jefferson
Powerful stuff.
