TRADOC Team:
This Fourth of July celebrates the 231st anniversary of the birth of our Nation and independence from Great Britain. It marks that famous day in 1776 when brave and dedicated patriots of the Second Continental Congress adopted the final draft of our Nation's Declaration of Independence and founded a nation based on freedom, justice, and love of liberty.
Independence Day represents the ideals of liberty, freedom, peace, and opportunity that our great Nation holds dear. These ideals extend well beyond our Nation's boundaries as our Service Members make tremendous sacrifices to afford opportunities of freedom and democracy to people who would otherwise have none. We pay tribute to the past and honor our Founders' bold vision and commit ourselves to preserving those things that matter most in our lives--our faith, our love for family and friends, and our freedom.
As we gather with family and friends this Independence Day to express gratitude for our many blessings and celebrate, let's pause to remember those deployed on the ground in harm's way and standing watch on point for our Nation around the world. God bless them and their Families!
God bless each of you for your contributions and may God Bless America!
