Patriotic Reflections

THE MEANING OF THE FOURTH OF JULY

On the Fourth of July, we pause to remember and celebrate the values of liberty and justice that make our country great, and to be thankful for the remarkable freedoms that we enjoy in the United States of America.

The significance of this day has inspired speeches, literary works, and musical compositions. It is also an opportunity for each of us to ponder the meaning of our nation's heritage and to celebrate it in our own unique way. In addition to having you celebrate with us by watching “A Capitol Fourth,” we want to hear why this holiday is special to you and your family!
