7.04.26 – Celebrating 250 Years of American Independence

Saturday, July 4, 2026

Dear DFW Flight Attendants,

Today, our nation marks an extraordinary milestone—250 years of American independence. It is a time to reflect on the enduring values of freedom, opportunity, and service that have shaped our country and inspired generations.

As Flight Attendants, we understand that many of our nation’s most meaningful holidays are spent doing what we do best: caring for others and connecting people across the country and around the world. Whether you are flying today or spending time with family and friends, we hope your Fourth of July is safe, enjoyable, and memorable.

This historic anniversary also reminds us that progress is built through unity, dedication, and a shared commitment to something greater than ourselves. While the labor movement has helped protect the rights and voices of working Americans, it is your professionalism, resilience, and commitment that continue to strengthen our profession every day.

Luis, our DFW Representatives, and I are honored to serve and advocate on behalf of more than 7,500 DFW Flight Attendants. Thank you for everything you do—not just during the holidays, but every day of the year.

We wish you a safe, happy, and meaningful Independence Day as we celebrate 250 years of the American spirit.

Happy Fourth of July!

Respectfully,

Robin & Luis
