Freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are the foundation of what make this country the great country that it is.
It is freedom that creates all good things, from free enterprise to ideas to generation, this dynamic American economy. It’s freedom that we should celebrate and it’s freedom that we should teach.
Freedom leads to the American Dream, where you dream that you can accomplish the things that you want to pursue in life. It’s also the dream that people have, if you treat people with respect and you work hard and try to do the right thing, you can get ahead and you can create a better future for your family and community.
America’s 250th anniversary is a moment to reflect at how far our nation has come. It’s a reminder that we all have work to do to keep the American Dream within reach for more people.
At JPMorganChase, we are doing our part. Our American Dream Initiative is expanding economic opportunity through targeted investments in local communities across the United States.
It’s helping the small business owner open their doors. A family save for a new home. A job seeker land a good job. It’s building a new hospital or school in a community.
Freedom isn’t something we just celebrate. It’s something we renew every day by creating opportunity and strengthening the communities that we call home.
