On July 4, 1776, the 56 signers of the #DeclarationOfIndependence pledged "to each other, our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
As we celebrate America's freedom, let us also celebrate the members of the Yonkers Public Schools Class of 2025 who, in their turn, pledge to defend the United States as members of the nation's Armed Forces. We keep them and their families in our hearts.
