Independence Day is a Time to Celebrate that we’re ALL Americans and we’re FREE!

The 4th of July is a day for family and friends to gather together, eat good food, and have fun. We are celebrating our nation’s independence from Great Britain after winning the Revolutionary War.

It’s also just an excuse to get outside with your friends and family on a summer day! Fireworks are always great entertainment – they’re beautiful and exciting! 

And finally, it’s about uniting as one nation under God, where all people are created equal regardless of race or religion.

It was declared an official federal holiday in 1870 by President Ulysses S Grant as part of his “Uniform Monday Holiday Act” which established Labor Day as a national holiday (June 27) and Memorial Day (May 30) as well as several other holidays throughout the year including Washington’s Birthday (February 22), Lincoln’s Birthday (February 12), George Washington’s Birthday (February 22). This law also created three more holidays that were not mentioned above; Thanksgiving Day November 23, Christmas Day December 25, New Year’s Day January 1st.

So this 4th of July, let’s remember to not only celebrate our freedom, but all of those things that make us as Americans the envy of the world!

May God bless you and yours this Independence Day!

And remember the primary symbol of the American Dream is homeownership. If you or someone you know is thinking of buying or selling a home, won’t you please introduce them to us?

Thanks, and Let’s have a BANG!
