“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.”

Our reality is imperfect, but our ideal is not. Always striving to attain the vision. We have setbacks, we go off the path, but we refuse to give up the journey regardless who tries to keep us from our destiny. We are America.
