Happy Independence Day, FirstFleet!
On the 4th of July every year, America celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. That document declared our independence from British rule and the founding of a new nation. Last year, we didn't get to celebrate like usual. It felt strange to honor our national Independence day while in lockdown. But with time and amazing scientific achievements, we can now celebrate with friends and family again!
Let's celebrate our freedoms over some burgers and fireworks this July 4th and as you do, please remember this most famous line from the Declaration of Independence.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Wherever you find yourself on this holiday, we hope all of you on the FirstFleet team are able to celebrate our great nation!
