Battle of Bunker Hill Flag

July 4, 1776 — The United States Declaration of Independence is the statement adopted by the Second Continental Congress meeting at the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia.

The Declaration of Independence is an amazing document, but words without action are nothing but words. It is only thanks to the brave women and men who showed up to fight to make those ideals a reality in this land (using their own personal guns — See Amendment #2), we had something to celebrate this week.
