Happy Independence Day!

We hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing, and safe time with their loved ones.

Historical fun fact: Did you know that the Declaration of Independence wasn’t actually signed on July 4, 1776? Independence itself was formally declared on July 2, 1776, and the final text was approved by Congress on the 4th. The Declaration wasn’t signed until August 2, 1776.
