Every year on July 4th, the United States of America celebrates Independence Day. This national holiday marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It is a day when Americans honor their freedom and the birth of a nation built on liberty.

Across the U.S., people celebrate in many ways. You’ll see American flags waving in front yards, fireworks lighting up the night sky, and families gathering for barbecues and parades. It’s a time to come together, reflect, and appreciate the values that shape this country.

It took great sacrifice to get here

The Star-Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the U.S.A., reminds us of the sacrifices made for freedom. As the lyrics say:

“O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”
These words still inspire pride and unity more than 200 years later.
