Happy Independence Day
Did you know that Independence Day, July 4th has been a federal holiday in
the United States since 1941? However, the tradition of Independence Day
celebrations actually go as far back as the 18th century and the American
Revolution (1775-83). In June 1776, representatives of the 13 colonies then
fighting in the revolutionary struggle weighed a resolution that would declare
their independence from Great Britain. On July 2nd, the Continental Congress
voted in favor of independence, and two days later its delegates adopted the
Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson.
From 1776 until the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of
American independence, with typical festivities ranging from fireworks, parades
and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues.
At Del Rio's Yachts we would like to take this opportunity to wish you and
your family a very Happy Independence Day! Whether you're grilling in the
park/backyard, catching some much needed rest or enjoying the fireworks displays
in the City, please remember that we're one of those options that you can take
advantage of also, to celebrate your special occasions with us. Celebrate your
own "independence" from the hustle and bustle of every day city life by taking a
relaxing cruise with those who mean the most to you or your colleagues that
you'd love to get some down time with. Thanks for your past support and we're
looking forward to serving you in the near future!
