U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley had words for the Independence Day holiday,
“Next year will be 250 years that we have had the signing of the Declaration of Independence. And I think those words that are in the beginning of it are endowed by our creator to certain unalienable rights among the life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, is what the United States of America 250 years later and for all of the 250 years was all about. And we honor that on July 4th of every year. And I hope that every American gets the chance to appreciate our liberties and freedoms by these 55 people that signed the Declaration of Independence. They were putting their lives on the line, and if we had lost the Revolutionary War, they probably all would have been executed by King George III.”
Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States which commemorates the ratification of the Declaration of Independence by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, establishing the United States of America.
