Celebration of the 232nd Anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence On July 4, 2008, Ambassador Garza invited several hundred friends of the U.S. Mission to Mexico to celebrate the 232nd Anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. (Read the press release)
	In addressing the guests, Ambassador Garza remarked: "In the United States, our tradition holds that the Liberty Bell rang out from the tower of Independence Hall in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776, to summon the townspeople to hear the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence."
"Some said it was crazy to try and accommodate an entire orchestra in the garden, but I am glad we pulled it off. I especially want to thank the members of the Mineria Symphony Orchestra and in particular Maestro Carlos Miguel Prieto for their inspiring rendition of our national anthems."
	“I have literally lived Mexico, and I have felt the soul of this country. And just like that man in search of his reason for being, it was in Mexico that I found that reason, the love of my life, my Mariasun."
