American Independence Day Wishes | International Space Station

Happy 250th to the U.S.A., from 250 miles above Earth! NASA astronauts Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, and Chris Williams celebrate the Fourth of July from the International Space Station and look ahead to America’s next chapter of exploration through the Artemis Program.

Independence Day, known colloquially as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States that commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, establishing the United States of America. By doing this, the delegates to the Second Continental Congress declared that the Thirteen Colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, King George III, and were now united, free, and independent states. The Congress voted to approve independence by passing the Lee Resolution on July 2 and adopted the Declaration of Independence two days later, on July 4.
