The Fourth of July is a federal holiday in the United States, commemorating July 4, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing the colonies’ separation from Great Britain. While it is a day of celebration, it is also important to remember all the heroes who advocated for the freedom enjoyed today.

House Minority Leader Tony McCombie extended his wishes to Illinoisans for a happy Fourth of July filled with fireworks, family time, and barbecue.
