Many of us have forgotten why we celebrate the 4th of July. This date is more than just a day to go to the beach, barbeque and enjoy a good firework display; it is to commemorate another day of independence. In the years leading up to 1776 the colonists of this land were being forced to follow more rules and pay more taxes by Great Britain. The people started making plans to be able to make their own rules and become an independent nation. This is how the declaration of independence came about. The Declaration of Independence is a symbol of our country's independence and commitment to certain ideas. So no matter what you enjoy doing on the 4th of July, you should take some time to think about the courage it took for these people to stand up for what they knew was right -- independence!
Here are my suggestions:
