Happy Emancipation and Independence Day

Happy Emancipation Day, July 3rd, and Independence Day, July 4th!

As we celebrate the emancipation of a people with the 1848 freedom of slaves in the #VirginIslands (then Danish West Indies) and the independence of our nation with the 1776 Declaration of Independence of the #USA, let us remember and continue to celebrate the sacrifices of the courageous individuals who fought on both fronts.

God bless the Virgin Islands and God bless the United States of America!
