July 4th has always been an event we looked forward to each year. Hosting numerous guests to celebrate one of the greatest days in American History, a day to honor those who served and continue to serve for the freedom that we have come to enjoy for 244 years.
Despite this year being a little different, the Spirit of American freedom was celebrated along with Samoa’s Dignitaries, Heads of Ministries, and the Diplomatic Corps. It was a unique celebration on its own.
