Happy Independence Day
Happy Independence Day
Each fourth of July our great country commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring our independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Our Second President of these United States wrote to his wife, “… July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.“
As we enjoy the day let us also pause and thank the great men and women who have sacrificed that we might live in this great Republic!
