00:00:30,902 --> 00:00:33,051
Hello, and welcome to a special episode of

2
00:00:33,051 --> 00:00:35,614
the smile code dot Tracy k and today

3
00:00:35,614 --> 00:00:37,229
we're celebrating America's

4
00:00:38,004 --> 00:00:38,243
birthday.

5
00:00:39,836 --> 00:00:43,358
On July fourth, Tracy 17 76,

6
00:00:43,996 --> 00:00:45,533
the continental little congress

7
00:00:46,388 --> 00:00:49,737
adopted the declaration of independence, marking the birth

8
00:00:49,737 --> 00:00:51,670
of the United gates of America.

9
00:00:52,629 --> 00:00:56,729
This historic document primarily authored by Thomas Jefferson,

10
00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:58,729
declare the colony

11
00:00:59,042 --> 00:01:00,629
freedom from British rule.

12
00:01:01,581 --> 00:01:04,120
It's a day to remember the courage and

13
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,731
vision of the founding fathers

14
00:01:06,279 --> 00:01:07,956
who pave the way for the freedoms.

15
00:01:09,073 --> 00:01:10,510
America enjoys today.

16
00:01:11,388 --> 00:01:14,204
Here is a poem to celebrate this significant

17
00:01:14,342 --> 00:01:14,582
day.

18
00:01:17,226 --> 00:01:18,101
On this day,

19
00:01:18,896 --> 00:01:20,271
the dawn of July

20
00:01:21,203 --> 00:01:22,339
stars and stripes

21
00:01:22,888 --> 00:01:24,080
wave in the sky.

22
00:01:25,430 --> 00:01:28,155
Echoes of history, proud and grand

23
00:01:29,005 --> 00:01:29,505
resonate.

24
00:01:30,451 --> 00:01:32,200
Across a beautiful land.

25
00:01:33,472 --> 00:01:36,572
From fields of green to mountains high,

26
00:01:37,526 --> 00:01:39,073
the spirit of freedom

27
00:01:39,447 --> 00:01:40,797
can't be denied.

28
00:01:41,989 --> 00:01:43,736
Brave hearts once stood,

29
00:01:44,371 --> 00:01:45,563
bold and bright.

30
00:01:46,534 --> 00:01:49,511
To claim our nation's sacred

31
00:01:49,891 --> 00:01:50,290
right.

32
00:01:51,409 --> 00:01:53,487
In twilight last gl,

33
00:01:53,966 --> 00:01:55,485
banners un fur,

34
00:01:56,299 --> 00:01:59,996
the essence of liberty in every swirl

35
00:02:01,094 --> 00:02:03,112
through trials and triumphs

36
00:02:03,491 --> 00:02:04,710
we have grown

37
00:02:05,424 --> 00:02:09,091
In this land, we proudly call our own.

38
00:02:10,367 --> 00:02:10,867
Fireworks

39
00:02:11,323 --> 00:02:13,476
burst in colors bright.

40
00:02:14,209 --> 00:02:17,006
A symbol of our enduring light.

41
00:02:18,124 --> 00:02:19,323
Communities gather,

42
00:02:19,882 --> 00:02:21,000
hand in hand,

43
00:02:22,133 --> 00:02:24,707
united together in this vast

44
00:02:25,084 --> 00:02:25,584
beautiful

45
00:02:25,962 --> 00:02:26,360
land.

46
00:02:27,876 --> 00:02:31,168
Remember the courage, the dreams 1 sown

47
00:02:31,878 --> 00:02:33,492
the seeds of democracy

48
00:02:33,867 --> 00:02:35,538
so strongly grown,

49
00:02:36,652 --> 00:02:38,005
reflect on the past,

50
00:02:38,721 --> 00:02:39,914
honor the fight.

51
00:02:40,884 --> 00:02:43,613
Celebrate freedom under the star

52
00:02:44,068 --> 00:02:44,387
night.

53
00:02:45,422 --> 00:02:48,447
From sea to shining sea stand,

54
00:02:49,417 --> 00:02:52,281
guardians of this cherished land.

55
00:02:53,156 --> 00:02:56,774
On July fourth, let our spirit soar

56
00:02:57,390 --> 00:02:59,884
in unity now and forever

57
00:03:00,341 --> 00:03:00,660
more.

58
00:03:01,697 --> 00:03:02,596
With gratitude

59
00:03:03,053 --> 00:03:04,829
we sing and cheer

60
00:03:05,526 --> 00:03:08,253
for the freedoms we hold dear.

61
00:03:09,210 --> 00:03:11,465
In every heart, the Anthem

62
00:03:11,922 --> 00:03:12,422
tune

63
00:03:13,198 --> 00:03:15,830
brings out under the July moon.

64
00:03:17,673 --> 00:03:21,011
Here's to the brave, the free, the bold,

65
00:03:21,964 --> 00:03:23,395
our nation's story,

66
00:03:23,792 --> 00:03:24,690
time leslie

67
00:03:25,158 --> 00:03:25,658
told

68
00:03:26,667 --> 00:03:28,597
happy birthday America

69
00:03:28,971 --> 00:03:30,663
on the sacred day

70
00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:33,284
together we order

71
00:03:34,151 --> 00:03:34,651
get

72
00:03:35,264 --> 00:03:35,582
sent.

73
00:03:41,644 --> 00:03:42,304
The following

74
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,547
excerpt captures the essence of the declaration and

75
00:03:45,547 --> 00:03:46,604
is a powerful

76
00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:49,425
reminder of the principles upon which

77
00:03:50,259 --> 00:03:51,712
the United States

78
00:03:52,165 --> 00:03:53,063
was founded.

79
00:03:55,343 --> 00:03:58,568
We hold these truths to be self evident

80
00:03:59,666 --> 00:04:00,886
that all men

81
00:04:01,345 --> 00:04:02,964
are created equal

82
00:04:03,582 --> 00:04:06,514
that they are endowed by their creator with

83
00:04:06,634 --> 00:04:07,134
certain

84
00:04:07,905 --> 00:04:08,405
una

85
00:04:09,415 --> 00:04:09,915
rights

86
00:04:10,686 --> 00:04:12,514
that among things are life,

87
00:04:13,070 --> 00:04:13,570
liberty

88
00:04:14,197 --> 00:04:16,125
and the pursuit of happiness

89
00:04:17,529 --> 00:04:19,353
that to secure these rights,

90
00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:22,731
governments are cheated among men

91
00:04:23,507 --> 00:04:26,857
deriving their just powers from the consent of

92
00:04:26,857 --> 00:04:27,596
the government

93
00:04:28,612 --> 00:04:30,946
that whenever any former government

94
00:04:31,336 --> 00:04:33,636
becomes destructive of these ends.

95
00:04:34,429 --> 00:04:36,808
It is the right of the people to

96
00:04:36,808 --> 00:04:38,711
alter or to abolish it.

97
00:04:39,442 --> 00:04:41,615
And to institute new government,

98
00:04:42,549 --> 00:04:43,447
laying its

99
00:04:43,903 --> 00:04:45,359
foundation on such principles

100
00:04:46,229 --> 00:04:49,266
and organizing its powers in such form,

101
00:04:50,225 --> 00:04:52,883
after them shall seem most likely

102
00:04:53,422 --> 00:04:55,280
to affect their safety.

103
00:04:55,993 --> 00:04:56,811
And happiness.

104
00:05:00,365 --> 00:05:02,852
Independence days, synonymous were the vibrant

105
00:05:03,306 --> 00:05:04,204
traditions and

106
00:05:04,578 --> 00:05:05,078
celebrations

107
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:08,196
from grand parades and fireworks

108
00:05:08,571 --> 00:05:10,958
to barbecue and family picnic.

109
00:05:13,121 --> 00:05:14,337
While we cherish

110
00:05:14,792 --> 00:05:16,962
the traditions, it's also

111
00:05:17,656 --> 00:05:19,270
important to reflect

112
00:05:20,057 --> 00:05:23,500
on what independence day means in today's context.

113
00:05:24,908 --> 00:05:26,658
The fourth of July is a time to

114
00:05:26,658 --> 00:05:29,202
recognize and appreciate our freedoms.

115
00:05:30,572 --> 00:05:33,466
It is also a time to recognize the

116
00:05:33,604 --> 00:05:36,716
ongoing struggles for equality and inclusion.

117
00:05:37,845 --> 00:05:40,327
And the importance of coming together

118
00:05:41,175 --> 00:05:42,309
as a united

119
00:05:43,236 --> 00:05:43,474
nation.

120
00:05:45,474 --> 00:05:48,910
That's said for today's special independence state episode

121
00:05:48,910 --> 00:05:49,949
of the smile code.

122
00:05:51,147 --> 00:05:52,665
Happy your birthday America?

123
00:05:53,798 --> 00:05:55,315
Until next time, this is doctor.

124
00:05:57,152 --> 00:05:57,870
Stay safe,

125
00:05:58,669 --> 00:05:59,568
stay happy

126
00:06:00,265 --> 00:06:01,463
and keep smiling.
