ndependence Day, the Fourth of July—whatever
you call it, it's one of the most important days in the
United States, one that calls for celebration year after
year. And we should all celebrate our independence every
day of the year!
It's easy to take our freedom for granted,
but in 1776 it took guts and determination for our forefathers
to tell England that we'd had enough of their long-distance
rule and that we were going to run our own affairs. The
colonists had to then fight a war for independence, and
as a young nation we didn't have much more than a ragged
army, little money, and not much in the way of firepower.
But we mustered up the strength and won our independence
once and for all.
On July 4th, there's no way we can celebrate
too much, and there's no way we can ever repay those who
came before us and were brave enough to forge our country.
So pay homage to our nation, to our forebears, to our liberty!
Go to the beach, watch the fireworks displays, barbecue
with your friends and family, play baseball, volleyball,
or Frisbee, and savor our freedom to do these things.
Add some "fireworks" to your home,
with great red,white, and blue decorations from Avery's.
We carry an incredible number of patriotic decorations,
including items bearing a flag motif. Christopher Radko
ornaments bearing the Stars & Stripes are terrific to
display on the Fourth of July and all year long.
