Post by W. R. Berkley Corporation

250 years ago, with one document, a nation was born. The concise, yet profound words of the Declaration of Independence laid the foundation for the values we hold in common as Americans: “𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞, 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.” W. R. Berkley Corporation is a product of the American Dream. From modest beginnings, we’ve flourished – guided by values of entrepreneurship and integrity. Nearly 60 years later we continue to operate by values of responsibility, integrity, innovative thinking, and putting people at the center of all we do. We’re reminded of the ways our values dovetail with those of our nation – equality, inclusion, and ownership of one’s own success. As we reflect on our nation’s ongoing journey to fulfill the promise of its founding documents, Berkley’s U.S. offices will be closed today in celebration of this 250th Independence Day. We hope that our employees, distributors, and industry colleagues enjoy this weekend and reflect on their ability to pursue their own personal happiness while considering ways to support others in their own pursuits of the American Dream. #4thofJuly #IndependenceDay #America250 #AmericanDream
