Happy Fourth of July and happy 250th anniversary!
On July 4, 1776, a bold idea became the foundation of a nation.
The Declaration of Independence announced to the world that the thirteen American colonies were no longer under British rule. Its powerful words proclaimed that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Adopted by the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, the document marked the birth of the United States and continues to inspire generations who believe in the promise of freedom and self-government.
