Happy Independence Day, America!

Today, as our nation celebrates 250 years since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, we pause to remember the extraordinary courage and vision of the Patriots who pledged "our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor" to secure the blessings of liberty for future generations.

As members of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, we are honored to preserve their legacy through our mission of Historic Preservation, Education, and Patriotism. Whether we are hosting our annual Reading of the Constitution, caring for our nation's history through Gravestone Cleaning Workshops, presenting educational programs to schoolchildren, honoring our veterans through Wreaths Across America, or serving our community in countless other ways, each act of service helps keep the ideals of the American Revolution alive.

Americans have always held strong opinions, and our era is no different. We are free to disagree and advocate passionately for the ideas we believe in because of the liberties secured by our Patriot ancestors, including the freedoms protected by the First Amendment. Those freedoms are among our nation's greatest strengths. Disagreement is not something to fear; it is one of the ways our Republic continues to grow and endure. Through it all, we remain united by our love of country.

As we celebrate this historic milestone, we are especially grateful for the opportunity to serve our community, honor those who came before us, and help inspire the next generation to cherish the freedoms we enjoy today.

From all of us in the John B. Denton Chapter, NSDAR, we wish you and your family a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day as we celebrate America's 250th birthday! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Happy Fourth of July!
