he past couple of years have brought about many challenges Tto our freedom and way of life as Americans. On July 4, as we celebrate the birth of our country’s freedom, we realize more than ever just how precious that freedom is. As Americans, we proudly salute the efforts of our country’s men and women in uniform, who bravely fight to secure the liberty and way of life we hold so dear. Their efforts serve not only to protect us, but to protect our children, grandchildren and many future generations to come. This Independence Day, we celebrate the birth of our great country with renewed enthusiasm, respect and thankfulness. We are very proud to be Americans.

Hours Mon. - Thurs. 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. JUST FOR THE RECORD... The Continental Congress decided to declare independence on July 2, 1776. The American Revolution started in April 1775. Thomas Jefferson wrote the f rst draft of the Declaration of Independence in June 1776 and it was signed on August 2, 1776 and was delivered to Great Britain in November 1776. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4th, 1826. So what did happen on July 4, 1776 The Continental Congress approved the f nal wording and agreed on all the drafts and changes from the original draft. July 4th, 1776 was the date on the fancy handwritten copy that is now on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. and it was the date that the Dunlap Broadsides -- the original 150-200 printed copies that were circulated throughout the new nation. They were printed on the night of July 4, 1776 by John Dunlap of Philadelphia. He was the off cial printer of the Continental Congress. We wish each of you a happy 4th of July Celebrate the freedom that we enoy in this country. Take time to thank a veteran for their service. Purchase and y a ag at your home. It is truly a privilege to be a citizen of the United States of America If we can help you with your dental health, please contact us. V.
