Presidential Message
on the 244th Anniversary of the Adoption of the Declaration of
Independence
Issued on: July
4, 2020
On this day in 1776, the Second Continental
Congress adopted the United States Declaration of Independence in
what is now known as Independence Hall in Philadelphia. In taking
this historic step, the Congress proclaimed “these United Colonies
are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States.” Today,
we celebrate our Nation’s independence and the vision of our
Founding Fathers revealed to the world on that fateful day, as well
as the countless patriots who continue to ensure that the flames of
freedom are never extinguished.
The enduring commitment to
the ideals of liberty and justice that have come to define our
American spirit stem from our Nation’s founding. In declaring that
our rights to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” should be
safeguarded for posterity and that “Governments are instituted among
Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,”
our Founding Fathers launched the American experiment that espoused
freedom and democracy over tyranny and monarchy. Two hundred and
forty-four years later, the principles grounded in the Declaration
of Independence continue to guide our Nation forward and maintain
its standing as a beacon of liberty, prosperity, and opportunity for
all.
Over the past months, the American spirit has
undoubtedly been tested by many challenges. Yet, it is in the face
of adversity that our country has had some of our proudest moments
of triumph. Today, especially, we are reminded of the extraordinary
feats that our Nation has accomplished since its founding nearly 250
years ago. Together, we must ensure that we live up to the ideals of
our Declaration of Independence and do all that we can to protect
and preserve the freedoms that make our country the greatest in the
world.
The First Lady and I wish each and every American a
happy and blessed Fourth of July and proudly join you in celebrating
our great Nation. May God bless the United States of America.
President Donald J. Trump
