July Fourth is a day citizens in the United States celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It was signed by this nation’s Founding Fathers to let Great Britain know the 13 colonies were no longer subject to British rule. The document features the oversized signature of John Hancock. The story goes he did that so King George could read it without his glasses. The quintessential cherry on top defining the Spirit of 1776.
While the United States had some recent success at the World Junior Championships in 2010, 2013, and 2017, they have had little on the big international stage.
