Today, in the United States, our annual celebration known as the, “Fourth of July,” is upon us.
It is on this day we commemorate the courage and strength of our founding fathers in their pursuit of liberty.
Many sacrifices were made by these extraordinary leaders. These men, through great effort and often risk to their own personal safety, united a nation.
Their belief in the Declaration of Independence laid the foundation for the U.S. Constitution. This document endorses the primary principles of freedom our country still upholds today. For this, I am eternally grateful.
From my family to yours…”Have a SAFE and INSANE day”!
