Why do we celebrate the 4^th of July?

This year, the holiday falls on a Thursday, offering a perfect late-week opportunity to commemorate our nation’s heritage. On this day in 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming the 13 original colonies as a sovereign nation free from British rule. July 4th symbolizes the birth of the United States and its unwavering commitment to liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. It’s a time for the nation to unite, reflect on its storied past, and honor the sacrifices of those who fought for our freedoms. The holiday is an opportunity for the country to come together, reflect on its history, and honor the sacrifices of those who came before.
