The 4th of July
In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Congress approved the wording of the Declaration on July 4 and then sent it to the printer. Whether John Hancock, as the elected President of the Second Continental Congress, or anyone else signed the document that day is unknown, because that document has been lost — presumably destroyed in the printing process. Hancock's name and that of a witness do appear on the typeset broadside that was published within a few days. On August 2 in the following month, an engrossed document in script form was signed by Hancock and other delegates.
This is why we celebrate the 4th because of the heroic actions taken by the American people and patriots such as Thomas Jefferson George Washington and Patrick Henry to seek independence from the control of Great Britain.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO ALL! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
