On a day so often filled with parties, fireworks, and sweet treats, it can be easy to overlook why we celebrate every year. The Fourth of July marks a day in our shared history when we as a nation, as one voice, stood up to those who we knew were unjust, and declared: enough.

We claimed that we as a nation had rights and we fought for the ability to pursue freedoms for ourselves: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to assemble, and the freedom to pursue your dreams. Freedoms that are still protected today.

This is a day to reflect on all that has been fought for, sacrificed, and won in the name of this great nation. We are a nation that has the ability to stand on its own, a country that is made of dreams and doers, and a people with a spirit that is strong, determined, and proud.

Happy Birthday, America. This one’s for you.

We hope that you enjoy your holiday!
