Happy Independence Day!

I’m taking some time off to spend it with the family.  I hope you are able to do the same on July 4th. I’ll be back next week (July 10th) with a post on how to sell on value, not price.

On July 2, 1776 the Second Continental Congress approved the resolution of independence.  After debating and revising some of the language for the Declaration of Independence, it was approved on July 4, 1776.

In a letter to his wife Abigail, John Adams wrote of the historic occasion:

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.

Happy Independence Day, America!

Blessed to live in this great nation,
Russ
