On March 9, 2005, the House of Representatives unanimously adopted House Resolution 41, which designates April 6th of each year as "National Tartan Day.? National Tartan Day was created to recognize the contributions that were made by Scottish-Americans to the development of the United States.

The Scottish Declaration of Independence was signed on April 6, 1320 A.D. Referred to as the Declaration of Arbroath, it states in part:

?It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.?

Almost 450 years later America?s Declaration of Independence was modeled from ?The Declaration of Arbroath.? Make sure you visit the follow organizations to find out more information about this Year?s National Tartan Day as well as one of the biggest Scottish Celebrations in New York City on April 2, 2005:
