Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - July 4, 2023

 The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice; their choice! - Dwight D. Eisenhower

America. It is the only place where miracles not only happen, but where they happen all the time. - Thomas Wolfe

Today, we celebrate the 247^th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress.   As a quick history refresher, Richard Henry Lee put forth a motion in June 1776 to declare independence from Great Britain.  On July 2, 1776, Lee’s motion was approved by the Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence was adopted and signed making America a free nation on July 4, 1776. 

Today is a remembrance of the dream of freedom our founding fathers had and the fight that our founding fathers had to embark on to provide our great country the freedoms we have today.

ACTION: Take time to read a book or an article or watch a documentary to remind yourself of what it took to accomplish this American Dream.
