July 4th is the day we celebrate the Declaration of Independence and our birth as a nation. We were founded on the principle of Freedom – that each person is created free and equal before the law, that no one group has privileges that others do not have, and that no person or group can force its beliefs on others. But we also learned that we all have responsibilities as citizens. The concept of this nation is of that of a team: everyone works together for the good of the team.
The Code includes this section:
As a Member of Society
I will display caring and honorable behavior off the field and be a positive influence in my community and world.
I will give of my time, skills, and money as I am able for the betterment of my community and world.
