Summary
Mike Pence used the July 4 milestone to call for renewed faith in God, liberty and constitutional self-government as the United States marks its 250th birthday.
Pence argued America's founding rights come from God rather than government, saying the country recovers from division by returning to its founding principles instead of abandoning them.
Gallup's finding that 33% of Americans are extremely proud to be American, down from 70% in the early 2000s, framed his warning that the nation risks failing a historic test.
Writing alongside Fox's patriotic-city coverage from Dahlonega, Georgia, Pence cast the anniversary as a civic handoff, urging Americans to leave the next generation a freer, stronger and more prosperous country.
