July 1, 2026 - As our nation commemorates 250 years of American independence, we are reminded that the story of American has always been written not only by leaders and soldiers, but by volunteers – ordinary people who chose to serve a cause greater than themselves.

During the days of the American Revolutionary War, the future of the new nation depended heavily on volunteer efforts. While the Continental Army fought on the battlefield, countless citizens supported the cause in other ways.
