Two hundred fifty years. From the signers in Philadelphia to the flag over Iwo Jima, from Kitty Hawk to the Moon, from the farm fields to the front lines.

What makes this nation great is not that nothing ever went wrong. Plenty did. It is that we never backed down and never abandoned the plan. When we got it wrong, we amended, we strengthened, and we moved forward. That is the discipline that built 250 years of progress, and it is the same discipline that builds lasting wealth.

Happy 250th Independence Day from our family to yours. 1776 to 2026.
