250 years of American pride and tradition. Our Founding Fathers fought for the ideals that they wanted for a country of the people. Alexander Hamilton, founder of what would become the United States Coast Guard, and many others fought wars and political battles for the country we know and love today.

We celebrate this day like only Americans know how, with cookouts, fireworks, and boating. While we spend time on the water enjoying the freedoms we have from our Founding Fathers, let's remember to be safe, wear a life jacket, and use the engine cutoff switch. Happy Birthday to the United States of America, and many more to come.
