Dear
Friends,
Happy
Independence
Day!
Today
is
a
celebration
of
our
country’s
past,
present
and
future.
On
July
4,
1776,
the
original
13
colonies
(including
South
Carolina!)
adopted
the
Declaration
of
Independence
and
cemented
their
freedom
from
a
government
that
had
previously
denied
the
rights
that
had
been
endowed
upon
them
by
their
Creator.
This
brave
act
was
the
foundation
for
the
principles
that
we
hold
dear
today:
that
all
men
are
created
equal
and
that
they
have
the
right
to
life,
liberty
and
the
pursuit
of
happiness.
Throughout
our
history,
our
countrymen
have
risen
to
the
task,
fought
hard
and
succeeded
in
keeping
those
who
would
do
us
harm
at
bay.
Today,
we
should
take
the
opportunity
to
remember
the
men
and
women
who
sacrificed
so
much,
and
made
it
possible
for
our
nation
to
continue
to
remain
one
of
liberty
and
freedom.
Thanks
to
them,
we
have
the
opportunity
to
celebrate
our
Independence
Day
with
friends
and
family.
I
hope
you
enjoy
today
and
are
safe
in
your
celebrations!
God
Bless
the
United
States
of
America.
Sincerely,
Tim |
