Happy Independance Day!

On July 4, 1776, Congress declared The United States of America independant from Great Britain. No longer would we be subject to harsh laws, mercilous governors, and taxation without representation! We were now the land of the free and the home of the brave, with a brand-new constitution.

We the people, in order to form a more perfect union...

Establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility;

Provide for the common defense,

Promote the general welfare and

Secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity




And we are citizens entitled to fulfill the American Dream, with freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of expression, freedom to peaceably assemble.




The majestic eagle, symbolic of our pride in our great land
















The Statue of Liberty, who shines her beacon of freedom for all the world to see
















The Liberty Bell, which struck it's Eb for the last time in February, 1846.
Listen to The Liberty Bell March, by John Philip Sousa














And greatest of all, the flag of the United States of America, designed by Betsy Ross

God Bless America!
