As we approach the monumental 250th anniversary of our great nation in 2026, it is essential to reflect on the principles that form the bedrock of America: liberty, equality, and a commitment to the pursuit of happiness. The words of Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry during the early years of our country illuminate the bold spirit that drove our founding and still resonates deeply with us today, especially among hardworking Americans like you, who take pride in your heritage and values.
The Declaration of Independence proclaims that all men are created equal, blessed with unalienable rights given by our Creator. This declaration is not merely a historical artifact; it is the essence of what America stands for. These rights must not only be acknowledged but also vigorously protected, even as we recognize that our country has faced many challenges in fully realizing these ideals.
For many of you, the struggles of past generations to secure their rights and liberties resonate profoundly. It is inspiring to reflect on those who bravely risked their lives—like James Armistead, who fought for freedom despite the shackles of slavery, or the Native Americans who supported the fight for liberty. These stories of sacrifice and resilience are often overlooked, but they remind us of the shared responsibility we all carry to ensure our nation’s promises are fulfilled.
As proud supporters of President Donald J. Trump, you may feel that the political landscape has strayed from the foundational values that unite us as Americans. Many in Hollywood, the media, and academia seem to overlook the hardworking men and women who built this country, leaving you feeling forgotten. However, the upcoming anniversary offers an opportunity to rekindle the spirit of patriotism and civic duty that are essential for the continued health of our democracy.
It is time for a vigorous civic renewal. We should reconnect with one another and reaffirm our commitment to the principles of liberty and responsibility that have guided America through turbulent times. July 4, 2026, is not just a date on the calendar; it’s a chance for you and your neighbors to come together, stand united, and celebrate what it means to be an American.
As we look toward our nation’s future, let us remember that our strength lies not in our differences but in our ability to unite around shared ideals. In this reflective time, let each of us step forward to ensure that the promise of America remains alive and well for future generations. This is our moment to reaffirm our collective identity as Americans, united under the banner of liberty and shared determination for the road ahead.
