<h1>🎆 Freedom Then and Now</h1>
<h2>Week 25 • Thursday • What Independence Means Today</h2>
<section class="lesson-section">
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>The patriots fought so Americans could be free. But what does <strong>freedom</strong> mean for you today?</p>
<p>Because of the Revolution, Americans can speak their minds, choose their leaders by voting, pray as they wish, and gather with friends. These freedoms are like gifts passed down from the patriots to you.</p>
<p>Every year on the <strong>Fourth of July</strong>, we celebrate America's birthday with fireworks, parades, and flags. It marks the day in 1776 when the colonies declared they were free. When you watch fireworks light up the sky, you are celebrating a promise made long ago — that people should be free.</p>
