Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47 - Video: .@POTUS: 250 years ago, a new nation was founded by farmers and soldiers, shopkeepers and tradesmen who stood strong to defend their rights, their families, and their freedom from tyranny across the sea. From every city and town, from the mountains and valleys, from the backwoods and rocky shores, they came by the thousands to fill the ranks of American Patriots, and enlist their lives in the righteous cause of Independence.
This exceptional nation was forged and won by some of the bravest, toughest, strongest, most extraordinary people ever to stride the earth. Together, we stand on the shoulders of incomparable heroes such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Paul Jones, and John Hancock. At Lexington and Concord, Brooklyn and Saratoga, Trenton and Yorktown, and at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, these real-life legends and American icons poured out their blood, sweat, and tears — and risked everything they had to purchase and to live the most priceless and glorious inheritance of any people ever to be on this earth. They all lived by the oath that Patrick Henry made immortal — "Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death.:
For 250 years, every generation of Americans has taken up this same call of Freedom. From the storied alleys of Boston to the streets of Philadelphia, from the golden fields of Michigan to the gleaming shores of California, and from Texas to Florida to right here in now beautiful and extremely safe Washington, D.C., our American ancestors fought and won the most vicious battles, they explored and settled the most dangerous frontiers, and let no challenge ever break their spirit or their pride.
Americans crossed the Great Plains, scaled the mighty Rockies, tamed the Wild West, and turned this continent into an industrial powerhouse. We laid down the railroads, raised up the skyscrapers, built the great highways, invented the airplane, won two World Wars, defeated fascism and Communism, and led humanity into space — and we did it all in the span of just 250 years.
Now, we are expanding the glory of American Freedom into a horizon that's never been seen before.
This is our heritage. This is our history. And this is the destiny of America — to be the greatest, most incredible country ever to grace the earth.
We are one people and one nation marching into one magnificent future under one Great American Flag.

Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47 - Video: .@POTUS: Tonight, right here on our National Mall, we are beginning the most unforgettable birthday party any country has ever seen.
This evening, it is my honor to officially kick off the celebration with The Great American State Fair.
From today through July 10th, this event will showcase all 56 states and territories. There will be military flyovers, special performances, patriotic music, high tech demonstrations, unique exhibitions, a FIFA Fan Zone, and even an old-fashioned Rodeo.
Then, on July 4th, we will have the greatest show of all on the National Mall as we ring in our 250th year with the largest fireworks display in world history. We will set an official world record, with 100x more fireworks than the typical July 4th.
Then, in August, we will have the Patriot Games — a first-of-its-kind competition featuring the greatest high school athletes from across the United States.
And soon thereafter, we will have the Freedom 250 Grand Prix here in Washington D.C.
