Independence Day

Jul
4

Independence
Day is a celebration of America’s
Independence from the British
Empire. We celebrate the
freedom we enjoy with fireworks and parties.
It is a time to remember those that have served this country to protect
that freedom for which we enjoy. It is a
day of picnics with family, community parades and fireworks to celebrate the
birthday of the United
States.

of the United States

At the time of the signing the US consisted of 13 colonies under the rule of England’s King
George III. There was growing unrest in the colonies concerning the taxes that
had to be paid to England.
This was commonly referred to as “Taxation without Representation” as
the colonists did not have any representation in the English Parliament and had
no say in what went on.

Beach from the RMS Queen Mary to
the Aquarium of the Pacific but
it doesn’t stop there!

Independence Day is more than a chance for a long weekend
full of parties; it gives us an opportunity to commemorate the courage and
faith of our founding fathers in their pursuit of liberty. While celebrating this 4^th of
July weekend, please remember to be safe:
