Fourth of July: A Day Of Celebration, Reflection By Wendy McNamara

0

For over 240 years, Americans celebrated the Fourth of July to honor one of our nation’s most historic moments, the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

While some signature events aren’t taking place at this time, many will still celebrate our nation’s independence with cookouts, fireworks and other traditions.

As Indiana continues its efforts to combat the coronavirus, Hoosiers are encouraged to follow social distancing guidelines. This is especially important when celebrating the holiday and gathering with family and friends.

To the Hoosiers working this weekend to keep our communities safe, thank you! Please remember when using fireworks to follow these safety tips.

Happy Independence Day! Â
