The United States celebrates Independence Day on the 4th of July. The country’s founders had varied backgrounds, but all had two things in common: they were influenced by Christian ideals and they possessed rock-solid dedication to a free America.
Their perseverance and faith led to the founding of a great nation and many personal freedoms Americans cherish today. The Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4, 1776, is this nation’s cornerstone document.
