Let Freedom Ring
In 2026, America will celebrate its 250th birthday, marking two and a half centuries since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. This milestone, known as the Semiquincentennial, will be a time to reflect on the nation's journey from its revolutionary beginnings to becoming a global leader. The 250th birthday will be an opportunity for citizens to come together, celebrate shared values, and consider how to build a stronger, more unified future.

In January we will be adding a second center block to "Let Freedom Ring" called Fort McHenry.
As the British navy turned their full force on Fort McHenry, parents and children could hear and feel the steady pummeling of bombs and shells as they listened with fear. In the silent morning at sea, Francis Scott Key waited and watched by the dawns early light, to see if the broad stripes and bright stars, of his country's flag still waved over Fort McHenry.Â
Moved by the experience he wrote the poem to later become our national anthem.Â
