The Declaration Of Independence was voted and approved by discontented representatives of the 13 colonies on this date in 1776. As Americans, we all enjoy the benefits of the freedom that those framers signed and ended up fighting for. Many of them paying the ultimate price for their beliefs. Please, take time to remember how important this day is!

Happy 240th Birthday, America!
