Dear Neighbors:
With the Fourth of July just a few days away, I wanted to extend my greetings for a safe and happy holiday to you and your family.
On July 4th, we celebrate the birth of our Nation. Since 1776, when the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, people from around the world have left their homelands to come to America for freedom and opportunity. As we gather with family and friends for barbecues and picnics, baseball games, music and fireworks, let’s take a minute to remember our history, heritage and to appreciate those who have fought for life, liberty and freedom.
My wish is that everyone, home or away, enjoys this important holiday. A special thank you to all the courageous men and women who have fought for our country, and continue to protect our freedoms each and every day. For those who are traveling, please be especially careful on the roadways.
I hope you have a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July. Happy Birthday America!
Sincerely,
Andrew J. Lanza
