DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Declaration of Independence: In Congress, July 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. 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 Declaration of Independence used to be read aloud at public gatherings every Fourth of July. Today, while all Americans have heard of it, all too few have read more than its second sentence.

Robert Ledogar was born in Queens, New York, to a young father who had gone to Vietnam and returned to work in the sanitation department in New York. His mother was a stay-at-home mother, and there was one other child in the household, Ledogar’s sister. There were also plenty of aunts and uncles around, and family was considered the most crucial aspect of their lives. Growing up, Ledogar was athletic and played baseball, football, and hockey. He was an average student, attending St. Virgilius and Monsignor McClancy High School. Robert Ledogar loved the Pittsburgh Steelers growing up, and he and his mom loved music. As a teenager, Ledogar was enthralled with Miami Vice on television. While he and his dad watched the television… Read More
