.Vice President JD Vance in New York Harbor: "By July of 1776, 80% of New York’s population had emptied out in anticipation of the coming violence, and that brings us back to our great General Washington. He knew the battles to come would be bruising and would demand much of his men, but they needed to know, through hot Summers and cold Winters, exactly what they were being asked to fight for—and so just a few days after the Declaration of Independence was signed, George Washington read aloud the words of the incredible Declaration: '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.' Even today, 250 years to the day later, these words command a tremendous power over us as Americans. For 250 years, they have stirred our hearts and they’ve reminded us of who we are as a people."
