To celebrate our upcoming 250th Anniversary, we will briefly look over the next month on how we got here.

On this day in history June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, one of the founding fathers, proposed a resolution in the Second Continental Congress calling for the American colonies' independence from Great Britain. Acting on instructions from the Virginia Convention, Lee's motion declared the colonies "free and independent states," absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown. This was just over a year from the Revolutionary War beginning on April 19, 1775.

Moment of silence......

On this day, June 6, 1944 it was the "Beginning of the end of World War II." - D-Day. 160,000 allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate France from the German army. Unfortunately, over 9,000 allied casualties - the majority of them Americans - were suffered. Although the toll was heavy, by day's end the Allies had gained a foothold to begin liberating France and Europe.
