Independence Day

Happy Birthday, U.S.A!

On July 4, 1776, the United States of America adopted the Declaration of Independence, declaring independence from Great Britain.  It is widely considered to be the symbolic birth of the nation, though at the time if its adoption, the War of Independence was already in full swing.

For those in the United States celebrating today, don’t forget why you’re not at work.  Take a few moments to think about how this nation began, as the seed of freedom and independence sprouted in 1776 and was eventually secured through the price of blood.

Be safe and have a great day.  Relax with friends and family, have some good food, marvel at the fireworks displays, and do whatever other things you like to do.  There’s rain the forecast here, so I just hope I can squeeze in some golf or at least a driving range session before I go and hang out with friends.
