It
was 243 years ago today – on July 4, 1776 – that the original 13 colonies
declared their independence from British rule and established the United States
of America, offering a beacon of hope for all the world to see. As Americans everywhere celebrate Independence
Day, the Massachusetts House Republican Caucus offers its enduring thanks and
support to the many servicemen and women who continue to uphold the essential freedoms
our forefathers envisioned for our nation more than two centuries ago. Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!
