"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."

The USA is a symbol of hope.
These ideals - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - and the
fact that the government is run by the people makes this country an
environment where living is both a road to prosperity, well being, and
freedom. This freedom, although imprefecty achieved at some points in its history, makes the nation
priceless because of what it offers. However the USA is not in any way free of
problems. But it does offer a life of freedom: both in personal lives and
in its free market economy.
This country gives to people something that cannot be found
elsewhere in its likeness: a way of life that supports the rights that
all people are born with, and provides an economic environment with
endless possibilities. It provides the gift of freedom, and the opportunity
that all can work for their own bread and well being.
