Happy Independence Day
 |
As we gather to celebrate Independence Day, we are reminded of the foundational principles that united our nation: freedom, liberty, and democracy.
We also take a moment to reflect on the values that have guided the republic since its inception, and the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who have fought to preserve them.
