We should never forget there is much more to Independence Day then just fun summer activities. July 4th is a time for reflecting on the history of the United States, to the time when our nation was formed. It is a time for honoring our country's forefathers and recognizing the influences they had, all those many years ago, that are still visible today. Below are links to some of America's historic documents. These are pieces of history upon which our nation was founded, and within which our current liberties are rooted. Why not take a look and reacquaint yourself with their principles and meanings!
