INDEPENDENCE DAY

Independence Day, America's national holiday celebrating our freedom from the Kingdom of Great Britain is possible because of the resolution, determination and spirit of the men and women of the original Thirteen Colonies.

In 1774 the men and women of the thirteen colonies rejected the authority of the King of Great Britain and began expelling all of the British royal officials. These thirteen colonies established their own Provincial Congress to form individual self-governing states to represent the will of the people and not the King. Our nation's founders rejected the oligarchies of Europe and their policies of governing by tyranny, public servitude and excessive taxes so all future generations of Americans would have the right to freedom, liberty and the pursuit of private property.

America has become the most accomplished and robust nation in the world because of these steadfast principles, hard work, innovative spirit of self-governance and free-market ideas. Men and women have become successful because of their persistence and ingenuity, not because of the heavy handedness of government! The magnificence of America is self evident by her compassion and generosity for other people living in other countries on continents thousands of miles away from her shores.

Now more than ever, it is time to embrace these time-tested principles that provide the opportunity for every one to become great! It is Americans who will discover cures for today's deadly diseases, innovations for energy independence and cutting edge technologies that will provide new and emerging markets for America and begin the renaissance and revitalization of our economy.

Celebrate America's grandeur and endless possibilities daily by honoring the courage of our founding fathers, previous generations and most importantly the sacrifices of the men and women of uniform who believe in America and her future!

Thank you for the opportunity to serve and celebrate America's greatness with you and your family!

Sincerely,

Marsha
