4th of July


Happy Independence Day from the Mission of Seattle!

Today is the 234th birthday of this great country and is a holiday of more than BBQ's and fireworks. This was the date that 56 brave men from 13 Colonies took a stand against oppression and unfair treatment. They formed and signed the Declaration of Independence, announcing their freedom from England. If you have never read this document, take the opportunity to do so by clicking on the link provided which is supplied by http://www.archives.gov/.

Freedom has to be constantly fought for, not always by war, but by knowing your rights and liberties, given by the laws of that land and by the creator, and ensuring they are maintained.

Keep fighting for true freedom and God bless America!
