Independence Day, 2023 also happens to be “Thank You Day,” a day of gratitude and appreciation for unsung heroes in our communities. That seems fitting as on this date in 1776, the 2nd Continental Congress voted to ratify the Declaration of Independence, declaring freedom from Britain’s King George III. Those men and their families risked everything to establish the United States of America… true heroes in our communities. Enjoy your celebration, whether it be with friends, fireworks, family reunions, or favorite foods on the grill.
