From all us here at Get Savvy, wishing you all a safe and happy Independence Day. We are grateful to all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and those who continue to stand for our independence.
Independence Day is a cornerstone of American identity. Marking the birth of the nation and the values of freedom and democracy. Celebrated on July 4th, it commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, a pivotal moment when the thirteen colonies declared their freedom from British rule. This day reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who fought for independence. And the ongoing responsibility to uphold these values.
In addition to its historical significance, this day is a time for community and celebration. Across the country, people come together for parades, fireworks, and family gatherings, symbolizing unity and patriotism. It is a day to reflect on the progress made and the challenges overcome. Fostering a sense of pride and belonging among Americans. Fun fact: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, both signers of the Declaration of Independence, died on July 4, 1826. Exactly 50 years after its signing.
Moreover, Independence Day is a great opportunity to learn more about the nation’s history and culture. Did you know that the original flag had 13 stars arranged in a circle to symbolize unity among the original colonies? Or that the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, a symbol of American independence, was last rung on George Washington’s birthday in 1846? Celebrating this day helps us appreciate the rich heritage and diverse stories that make up the United States, inspiring us to contribute to its future.
