It’s the July 4 weekend of our nation’s 250th birthday, and all major U.S. federal agencies and officials vied with each other to express their patriotic pride.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin declared, “Trump's Freedom 250 celebrations are a reminder of what makes America exceptional. From Sail250 in New York to BBQs, parades, and celebrations across our nation, we're honoring America's extraordinary past while looking ahead to another 250 years of greatness. At the Department of Homeland Security, we're blessed with an incredible mission: protecting the great American homeland.” He ended, “Here's to the next 250 years of the greatest nation on Earth.”
His agency also posted a video:

The Department of Health and Human Services announced, “Today, we celebrate 250 years of freedom. As America looks ahead to its next 250 years, HHS remains committed to building a healthier future and working to Make America Healthy Again. Happy 250th, America!”
And HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a practical way of paying our 250 years of legacy forward:
As America celebrates its 250th birthday, we're investing in the next generation of American leaders.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner specifically highlighted the importance of praying to God for this anniversary, “Thousands gathered on the National Mall for Rededicate 250 — Americans from every walk of life praying for revival and asking God to heal our land. That hunger for a Great Awakening is inspiring.”
