## Resource

1. Celebration of America's 250th Anniversary The courage of the 56 signers of the Declaration. The risks they took by declaring independence from Great Britain. The historical significance of America's founding principles. The importance of celebrating national milestones regardless of current political disagreements. 2. American Exceptionalism Rights come from God rather than government. Government exists to protect those rights. Sovereignty resides with the people ("We the People").

Reflect on the freedoms and opportunities available in the United States. 4. National Pride Americans should be proud of their country. Patriotism should transcend party politics. National celebrations should not be tied to support or opposition to a specific political leader. 6. American Foreign Policy and Israel The U.S.-Israel relationship. Shared democratic values between the two nations. Support for Israel as a key American ally. 7. Sports and National Unity The FIFA World Cup. American support for the U.S. national team.
