Celebrating the Fourth of July

The Fourth of July is a day to commemorate the independence of America. On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was sent to Great Britain. This historic document, written by Thomas Jefferson, outlined America’s values and goals for the future. Just like Eosera, the Declaration of Independence values bravery, happiness, and growth. The Fourth of July became a national holiday in 1941, but even before then Americans all around the nation celebrated this momentous day with fireworks and good food. The Fourth of July is a time for family and also remembering what it means to be an American and the values that come with that.
