Independence Day






July 4, 1776

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.

My feelings for this day run strong. I am proud and grateful to have been born in the United States. On this day, Americans come together to celebrate our independence as a nation, we come together joined and united, all political, religious, and other differences are set aside, on this day we are all one.

As a former US Marine I know the sacrifices I have made and I am very proud of having served. Thanks to all past and present service men and women that carry out their daily duties in defense of our freedoms. I will always be grateful for our military, as they stand watch 7/24.


Happy Fourth of July!!!!



A History Note on the 4th of July

The first celebration of the fourth of July actually took place on July 8th 1776 this was the first day of the official announcement of the Declaration of Independence to the people of the thirteen colonies. The celebrating with fireworks has it’s origins from England. The custom was used to celebrate the King of England’s birthday. So, celebrate today like the colonist did in 1776. It is a day every American should be proud to live in such a great country.
