The story of America’s unlikely road to independence, is one grounded in impassioned rebellion and revolution. When the Patriots finally decided they’d had enough of British Rule, they rose up to fight for their liberty and self-determination. Today, we celebrate the very rebels who dared overthrow the yoke of British Oppression. We celebrate their bravery, their temerity, and their dogged determination. We celebrate their perseverance in the face of great challenge and their unwavering faith in the principles of their movement. We are here because of what these rebels, our revolutionary forebears, pursued and accomplished. And we are free because they believed in freedom’s cause and made every sacrifice to achieve it.
