Although the Declaration of Independence was actually approved by Congress on July 2nd, 1776 the date shown on the document and day of its celebration is July 4th. To mark the occasion in 1778 General George Washington celebrated July 4th with a double ration of rum and an artillery salute for his soldiers, but it wasn’t until 1938 that Congress changed Independence Day to a paid federal holiday.
“Our founding fathers set in motion the greatest country and experiment in democracy that mankind has ever witnessed,” reported Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates. “As our national holiday approaches, Cochrane & Associates would like to thank the industry and our clients for their support as we continue to provide marketing and public relations services to some of the best companies in the industry,” he continued.
