5K race and pancake breakfast - midwest bliss

it's the 4th of July in the midwest, and the high school lacrosse team is raising money. How can I resist!

July 4th is "Independence Day" for the United States. On this day, in 1776, Congress, assembled in Philadelphia, signed the "Declaration of Independence" from Great Britain (then England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales ? ).

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

Fun video. Looks like you had a lot of fun, too. Where would the world be without you, Bill? On a slightly more serious note, thanks for including the Declaration of Independence on the description. Always good to get a reminder of that (and the Constitution, too.) Thanks for your videos.
