Happy Fourth of July everyone!
Helen and I wish everyone a wonderful and safe holiday weekend.
For readers who may not know, the Fourth is our national holiday celebrating our adoption of the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. This occurred in 1776. We actually severed ties from England two days earlier, on July 2, 1776. On the 4th, our government adopted the Declaration of Independence, which explains why we separated. The Declaration is one of my country’s most important and meaningful documents, next to the Constitution. It was the actions behind the Declaration that created this country and all of its ideals.
Today, the Fourth of July also marks the beginning of summer in the US. Many families take off for he beach or mountains, enjoy picnics, hot dogs, etc. Lots of fun and a nice way to celebrate our country’s founding. Have a great Fourth!
