Happy Independence Day from SmallGovCon!

Happy 4th of July! We hope that our SmallGovCon readers have a happy and safe holiday. This is a good time to remember that this country would be a far different place had we not achieved independence from the United Kingdom in the manner that we did. And maintaining the independence of this country takes everyone working together and the strength of our government to support the people’s independence and sovereignty. Federal government workers and contractors are crucial to maintaining our country. So raise a glass to them this holiday!
