CTV wishes you and your family a happy Independence Day! It's a wonderful time to celebrate our freedoms as Americans and remember that fateful day back in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was ratified by the Second Continental Congress.

"I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure it will cost us to maintain this declaration, and support and defend these states. Yet through all the gloom I see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is worth all the means. This is our day of deliverance." - John Adams
