Independence Day allows us to reflect on our country and take pride in our nation's enduring principles. On the Fourth of July 246 years ago, exemplary visionaries ratified the Declaration of Independence, daring to initiate the grandest experiment of self-governance in human history by creating a new form of government. It is constrained by the recognition of God-given inalienable rights, which the government may not take away nor infringe upon but must protect.

Many of you have your own family traditions for this three-day weekend when the temperature typically heats up; backyard barbecues, yard games, or time at the lake or poolside to create treasured family memories.
