Trump: ‘American Soldiers Fought and Died to Secure Our Independence’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "My fellow Americans, Melania and I are truly honored to wish every American a happy Independence Day. It was 242 ago today in Philadelphia that 56 brave representatives of the American people adopted our Declaration of Independence. They announced to the world that America would be free and America would be independent. They pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. In so doing they forever changed the course of human history. General George Washington and this army of brave patriots fought a long tough war with the British to win America's freedom; win, they did. From Bunker Hill to Saratoga to Yorktown American soldiers fought and died to secure our independence and to make a sovereign nation."
