Victory may be in your hands, but you are winning a greater thing than military victory.
On this day 175 years ago the representatives of the American people declared the independence of the United States.
We have made great strides in broadening freedom here at home.
We are fighting for a simple aim--as important to us today as the goal of independence was in 1776.
