Happy 4th of July to all!

On July 3, 1776, John Adams wrote a letter to his wife about how memorable Independence Day would be in American history.

He was obviously right — in his letter, he said the day should be celebrated with parades, bonfires and fireworks.

An estimated 2.5 million people lived in the nation in July 1776.

As of June 2025, about 342 million people live in the U.S.A., according to the United States Census.

On this 4th of July, we ask you to celebrate with the millions of other Americans who are fortunate to call this country Home!
