Yonkers Insider: Statement from Yonkers City Council Majority Whip John Rubbo 4th District: Happy Fourth of July!

 

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

Independence Day, also called Fourth of July in the United States, is the annual celebration of nationhood. It commemorates the passage of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.   We may not be a perfect nation, but we are a land of great opportunity.  We are made up of citizenry who fight for what they believe in and we are lucky to live in a country that does not prohibit our God-given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.   Always stand up for what you believe.  It is one of the simple pleasures and rights that we celebrate in this wonderful country. God Bless Yonkers and God Bless America! Your Truly- The Rubbos
