This Fourth of July — Fight for Freedom
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for,
protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”
– Ronald Reagan
On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence from Great Britain and its king, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence—the birth certificate of America.
In a letter from John Adams to his wife, Abigail, dated July 3, 1776, Adams refers to that day as “the most memorable epoch in the history of America.”
He went on to write:
“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, forevermore.”
Although the Fourth of July is celebrated with fireworks, burgers on the grill, and a day off from work, it is important to remember what this Day truly represents.
On this Independence Day, proudly celebrate the birth of our Nation and vow to protect and preserve the freedoms our Founding Fathers so boldly handed to us 248 years ago.
God Bless America!
