There is no other celebration as American as our celebration of our country on the 4th of July. But what are we commemorating on this very festive day? On July 4, 1776, the thirteen colonies, represented by the Continental Congress, claimed their independence from England, by adopting The Declaration of Independence, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States. Declaration of Independence
Celebrating the 4th of JulySo during your day, among all the festivities and celebrations, take a moment to reflect on this declaration of all people being equal and having unalienable rights that include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And then pause and ponder what each of us can do to support and apply these rights, that are the cornerstone of what America should stand for, to all people Happy Fourth of July
Thanks for stopping by, Laurie
