On July 4th, we celebrate the birthday of the United States of America, also called Independence Day. On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress. This famous document announced that the thirteen American colonies were independent states separate from the British Empire. By signing this document, 56 men pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Some of these men gave their lives in the war for independence, most lost their fortunes, and all preserved their sacred honor. On today's quest, we will look at the brave signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and a Fourth of July Independence Day 2011 Hat!<BR><BR><BR>

Today is July 4th! This day commemorates the birth of the United States. It represents not just a Declaration of Independence, but a philosophical revolution. The American Revolution changed the idea of government altogether. The Fourth of July reminds us that in this land, it was determined "that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is created and managed by the people." Government has only the powers granted to it voluntarily by the people. On today's quest, we will take a look at July Fourth.
