🎈 Celebrating 250!
In Their Own Words
We asked our team one question: what does America's 250th birthday mean to you?
"We just witnessed history as a nation on April 1st, 2026 with the Artemis II launch. Time and time again Americans have persevered through national tragedies, natural disasters, and injustices among our people. But we find a way to bounce back and achieve new heights. We learn and get better day by day — stronger, and wiser. 250 years and counting — that's what America is to me. Unyielding strength. All of us together.
"To me, America's 250th birthday is about the people who make this country special and the values that bring us together. It's the families, small businesses, and communities that reflect the freedom, resilience, and opportunity this country was built on. Being part of a local business, I see firsthand how important connection and support are. This anniversary is a time to celebrate those relationships while honoring how far we've come. It reminds me how proud I am to serve our community every day.
"To me, this moment is about the people and connections that make our community special. I'm grateful to be part of a place where kindness and care for others are valued. Helping people create comfortable, welcoming spaces in their homes is something I truly enjoy. It's meaningful to be part of something that brings people together in everyday life!
"America's 250th birthday means recognizing how far we've come as a country while understanding there's still so much more room for growth. It's about appreciating the freedom and opportunities we have and honoring all the people who have built and defended this country.
"America 250 means so much to me because it gave me a place to grow, belong, and build a life for my family. Coming from Mexico, I will always be grateful for the opportunities and kindness I have found here. This country has allowed me to work hard, care for my loved ones, and be part of a strong and welcoming community. I treasure the values of family, faith, and togetherness that are shared here. It's a blessing to be part of this journey, and I look forward to what the future holds for the next generation.
