Independence Day is a celebration of freedom—but it’s also a celebration of the places and people that make that freedom matter.

As fireworks light up the sky and flags wave proudly on porches, we’re reminded that the heart of America isn’t just found in parades or speeches—it’s found around backyard tables, in shared laughter, and in the quiet moments of gratitude for those who came before us.

Freedom is a gift, but it’s also a responsibility—to care for one another, to build strong families, and to create homes filled with love, healing, and hope.
