Happy Fourth of July!

Celebration of the Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, dates back to the American Revolution when Congress declared independence from Great Britain. Before we begin our festivities, we should ponder what others before us were willing to sacrifice so we can have the freedoms that we enjoy so much.
