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. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.



with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.



This was recorded at SuperBowl XXXIX, in 2005. Every single one of the men and women singing there has completed his term at his academy and is now serving to safeguard the liberty we enjoy.

Enjoy your family, your barbecue, your beer, your fireworks, your guns... but remember who gives you that freedom, and remember the risks undertaken by a daring few on this day 234 years ago.
