Happy Independence Day! Does this holiday hold just a little more weight and significance for you this year after our year in American History? Who plans to make their kids recite the Declaration of Independence today? As we learned this year, those famous words really were and are a foundation of our nation.
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.
So how will you celebrate our nation’s birthday? Perhaps you already have a full schedule for the day, but if not, here are some local options for the day. (Yay for having options!)
