In the summer of 1776, leaders from throughout the American colonies gathered together in Philadelphia to sign The Declaration of Independence. This historic document put forth the ideals of a freesociety, "of the people, by the people and for the people," and proclaimed that, from that day forth, we would forever be known as the United States of America - dedicated to the core values of liberty, justice, and independence.

Today, with so many struggles all over the world, America often carries a heavy burden as the world's defender of freedom. Sometimes, in order to help others, we must first take care of ourselves - strengthening our military, rebuilding our economy, and protecting our independence. By putting America first, the United States will be in a better position to be a strong global leader - lighting the way for a world in search of freedom.
