🎉 Happy Rhode Island Independence Day!

🎉 On this day in 1776, Rhode Island became the first colony to declare independence from Great Britain, two months before the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Did you know that Rhode Island's state nickname, "The Ocean State," was coined by Governor John Pastore in 1971? 🌊

Let's celebrate this historic moment and Rhode Island's beautiful coastline today! 🇺🇸💪
