County Executive George Latimer Statement on Independence Day 2020.

“Our Nation was founded on the ideal that all people are created equal. A notion not fully realized at the time - but one that we as a nation must always strive for. We must remain steadfast to our belief that the experiment known as America entered into nearly 250 years ago was, is and will be the greatest ideal ever formed and we must always work to make it a reality – for everyone.

“While this year’s Independence Day may look a bit different due to the challenges posed by a global pandemic, the importance remains the same. While maintaining social distancing and always wearing a mask when near others, take a moment to remember the words of our founding fathers and how we can all best act to see them truly come to fruition.”
