The Space Alien Celebrates our Nation's Birthday

The Space Alien loves to participate in reenactments of great historical events, especially on July 4, Independence Day.  

Besides enjoying a picnic, the Space Alien will study the Declaration of Independence and consider its meaning for today, and how best to enhance life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all.  

Here is the Space Alien's reading list: 

1. The complete text of the Declaration of Independence from the National Archives:

This issue of the Space Alien Gazette is lovingly dedicated to the memory of my dear Uncle Al who reminded us each year to read the Declaration of Independence on July 4th.
