Happy Birthday, America!
It is time we pause to reflect on why we gather for BBQs, go to the beach, and enjoy fireworks on this day each year.
In this episode, I take you through two historical speeches on the importance of signing the Declaration of Independence and how the words written nearly 250 years ago 'Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness' are still a dream we are chasing.
Hear from President Ronald Regan and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on why they think these words still hold true today.
