Independence Day

It was on this date in 1776 that the Declaration of Independence was officially adopted. This is why the Fourth of July is also known as "Independence Day." July 4, 1776 was the day our country's founders officially declared their separation from the country that ruled over them.

It was because the American colonists wanted to form their own government that they declared their independence from British rule, and fought and won the American Revolution.

Now, over 200 years later, we celebrate the Fourth of July because it stands as a symbol of the day long ago when we ceased being British and became true Americans.

I would like to share a fun Poem about Independence Day with you...

Way Up in the Sky
(Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat) Wave, wave, wave the flag, Hold it very high. Watch the colors gently wave, Way up in the sky. March, march, march around, Hold the flag up high.
