America Became a Nation

America Became a Nation

Tomorrow is an incredibly significant date in American history. It marks the day the United States officially became its own nation.

The Declaration of Independence of the United States was ratified by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. 

Enjoy the holiday and the freedom it provides.

Happy birthday, America.

Next week’s Consider This story is about being invisible.
