CO's Holiday Safety Message

On July fourth 2015, we commemorate the 239th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, celebrating our continued independence and freedom as a nation. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was written in order for America's 13 original colonies to declare their independence from Great Britain. Our great nation has celebrated the Independence Day since the Revolutionary War, but it was formally declared a national holiday in 1941.
