Greetings Fellow Brothers and Sisters,
Welcome to July a time to celebrate our independence; Happy Birthday America 248 years ago this month we became a nation.
2 July 1776, the Founding Fathers delegates to the Second Continental Congress declared that the Thirteen Original Colonies were no longer subject to British Rule and were now free and independent. The Congress voted to approve independence by passing the Lee Resolution and adopted the Declaration of Independence two days later July 4, 1776.
This day is celebrated every year as a Federal Holiday with the day being marked with, parades, BBQs, concerts, picnics, and fairs to name a few.
Imagine in you will if you were Thomas Jefferson who largely wrote the Declaration of Independence. In just 17 days he was able to write such an important document in our Nation’s history. He was able to this in isolation from June 11 to Jun 28, 1776. What an awesome responsibility and what a legacy to leave as your mark on history.
Whatever you do to celebrate Independence Day, remember as Elks we are Distinctively American, linking the destiny of our order with the destiny of our country. God Bless you and God Bless our Country.
Fraternally,
Thomas Carns
PDDGER—Exalted Ruler
