The yard will be closed on Friday and Saturday this week to celebrate a bunch of badasses who got fed up with King George III 250 years ago and sacrificed everything by declaring the thirteen colonies independent of Great Britain.
Take a few minutes to read the Declaration of Independence at https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript and see why the colonists were pi**ed off enough to risk everything to begin this great nation. The Declaration lays out a long list of grievances against the king and explains why the founding fathers believed separation had become not just justified, but necessary.
Whether you're spending the weekend with family, watching fireworks, or firing up the grill, take a moment to remember the men and women who pledged "their Lives, their Fortunes and their sacred Honor" so future generations could live free. 🇺🇸
