As we celebrate the 4th of July in the United States–which commemorates the day–July 4, 1776–that the Second Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence we wish all a safe 4th of July.
July 4th celebrates the values of Freedom and what Freedom enables and empowers. On this day, let us remember those who may not have the freedoms we hold dear. And let us think about what Freedom and Independence means to each of us. As William Faulkner said, “We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.”
Wishing all a Happy 4th of July!
“We hold these trust to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
~ The Declaration of Independence
