Dear Friends,

On July 4th, we celebrate the birth of our Nation. Since 1776, when the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, people from around the world have left their homelands to come to America for freedom and opportunity.

As we gather with family and friends for barbeques and picnics, baseball games, music and fireworks, let’s take a moment to remember our history, heritage and to appreciate those who have fought for life, liberty and freedom.

Happy Birthday, America! 

Sincerely,

Simcha Felder

Senator, 17^th S.D
