Happy 4th of July to you and your family!
Let us all take some time to celebrate this weekend with our friends and family!
Independence Day, Fourth of July is a federal holiday in the United States. This commemorates the Declaration of Independence, which was ratified by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. We are thankful for our country!
