Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 Before gathering to enjoy your lakeside BBQs and evening fireworks, it’s worth spending a few minutes remembering and considering the daring boldness with which British colonists risked their lives to become American revolutionaries, and what inspired them to create the world’s longest-lasting constitutional republic, a brilliant form of government conceived by her founders to ensure unalienable rights for her citizens. Since the 1620s, Americans expanded across the continent with a sense of rugged idealism and purpose, ensuring survival from colonial Europe; overcame the ugly sin of slavery by giving 600,000 American souls for freedom; led the modern Age of Enlightenment with a system to encourage risk taking and free enterprise, resulting in the building blocks of our modern society, from the telephone to the airplane; joined with Allied nations to rescue the world from fascism in World War II; and defeated Marxism-Leninism abroad in the 20th century. Now America leads the technological revolution fueling the future of business, travel, communications, healthcare — the full 360 of American life. We have much to be proud of and thankful for as our nation prepares to celebrate 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026.

On this Independence Day, TAKE ACTION and free yourself from: 1. Mediocre standards (set BIG goals) 2. Addictive influences (prioritize your health) 3. Critical people (seek positive influences) 4. Mindless political spin (demand truth) 5. Lackluster values (live ethically) 6. Trivial time gobblers (get productive) 7. Poor leadership (pursue best practices) 8. Lack of appreciation (express gratitude) 9. Privilege (blessed are the poor in spirit) 10. Weak spirituality (embrace deep faith) The Declaration of Independence was a call to revolt. As stated toward the end of the document: “That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States.” Just as our country declared a complete break with Britain’s tyranny, YOU can reject the ‘tyranny of the good’ to pursue the greatness our Creator has placed within you. DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE!

Happy Independence Day, America Thanks to the original founders and their sacrifices and to all who have sacrificed in the 248 years since to keep this flag flying free wherever in this great land you want to fly it; whether on land, or by sea and air. May we cherish and protect our freedoms. All day. Every day. Everywhere in this great land. For everyone. From the Declaration of Independence - "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; ..."

On this Independence Day, let us remember the immense sacrifices made by those who gave their lives in the American Revolutionary War. Their courage and determination laid the foundation for the freedoms we cherish today. Our founders envisioned a nation built on liberty, justice, and the pursuit of happiness, and they worked tirelessly to make that dream a reality. Throughout history, these ideals have been preserved through great sacrifice. The American Civil War, with its immense cost, reaffirmed our commitment to unity and equality. Yet today, we must acknowledge that we have lost our way. Our basic morality seems to be eroding, and we have lost sight of what is truly important. Virtue has been corrupted, and there appears to be a subversive force weakening our nation from within. If we are not careful, we risk losing everything that has been fought for. But amid these challenges, there is hope. America remains a shining beacon because of what we can be. We have the power to rediscover our values, to uphold the principles that make us strong, and to strive towards a future that honors the sacrifices of the past. Let us come together, united in purpose, to ensure that the light of freedom continues to shine brightly for generations to come. Happy Independence Day, and may God bless America.

Happy 248th Independence Day to these United States of America! The Declaration of Independence was approved by twelve of the thirteen original American colonies (New York abstained) on July 2, 1776. It was written by 32-year-old Thomas Jefferson. On July 4, 1776, at end of the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, representatives from the 13 colonies adopted the Jeffersonian Declaration — making July 4 the official day of America's independence. It was later signed on different dates by 56 men (ranging in age from 26 to 70) from the thirteen original colonies. The Kingdom of Morocco became the first country to recognise America's independence in 1777, and France, arguably America’s oldest ally because of its role in the American Revolution, followed suit in 1778. The American Revolution had started just over a year (April 1775) when the Declaration of Independence was signed. With determination, patriotism, and help from a few European and other allies, the new nation was able to defeat King George III and the mighty British military. Like many former colonies, the U.S. has dealt with many internal and external affairs — with some of those wranglings even bringing the “city on a hill” in the dark valley of despair. Though absolutely imperfect like every nation on earth, it’s a wonderment to its mother across the pond, and an example to its siblings and peers. The U.S. is a federal secular constitutional republic—it’s neither a Christian nation nor a democracy. Happy 248th Independence Day, America! #history #globalevents #ushistory #americanhistory #europe #britain #northamerica #independenceday #4thofjuly #usa #unitedstates

On this Independence Day, let us celebrate not just our nation’s freedom, but also the journey toward true freedom for every citizen. Though we have shed colonial rule, many still struggle under the weight of inequality and the shadows of the past. Yet, we stand on the brink of a new era—where freedom belongs to everyone, not just the privileged few. Let us unite to build a nation where every voice is heard and every life valued. The dream of true independence is within reach; together, we can make it a reality. “You alone we worship and you alone we ask for help.” Quran 1:5
