United States of America 250th Anniversary Celebration
1776 - 2026
This article will be my final Old Delhi Yarn sharing the stories of some of the Revolutionary War Veterans buried in Delhi. It’s been my privilege and honor to bring the stories of their lives and service to help us appreciate how much our Veterans have sacrificed for our country. The most famous words in America are “We The People”, the first words of the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America.
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”.
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation, the festivals and fireworks are a testament to the love we have for America. We mustn’t give up hope for a better Union. Through many difficult times the American people have continued to work toward unity. We’ve carved out our place in history as pilgrims, settlers, warriors, politicians, patriots, peacemakers, authors, artists, farmers, builders, craftsmen, scientists and innovators.
We owe ourselves, and future generations, our commitment to the freedoms our forefathers envisioned. As we continue to hope for a nation of diversity, we still have a long way to go. The United States of America has always been a beacon of hope for people. We must not let the hope of freedom and equality for all people die on our watch. We continue to honor the sacrifice of all veterans who fought and died to keep our nation free from tyranny and oppression as we celebrate America’s 250th
anniversary.
