“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.”
 

On this Independence Day, proudly celebrate the birth of our Nation and vow to preserve the freedoms and Biblical values our Founding Fathers so boldly proclaimed 249 years ago.

God Bless America!
