July 4th – Independence Day

Posted on Jul 4, 2021 in Webmaster Comments

On this day in 1776, the Continental Congress adopted
the Declaration of Independence
declaring the thirteen colonies a new nation,
no longer part of the British Empire.

Americans come together on July 4 to celebrate the nation’s birthday and Independence Day. On this day, most Americans enjoy grills in their backyards, at beaches, or in parks. Some partake in parades or marches and enjoy the fireworks that are often launched at dusk.
