Have a great 4th of July weekend….enjoy your freedom and independence. Happy 223rd Birthday!
“The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion and God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward and forever more.”
John Adam’s prediction was off by two days. Americans celebrated independence after Congress signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. You know that man would be doin shots off girls’ as…….well nevermind.
Anyway, if you’re like me and have no idea what the Declaration of Independence is, you can read it here. But to me 4th of July is all about family, barbecues, fireworks but most of all blowing things up with fireworks! Let’s be honest, who doesn’t enjoy that? The cops don’t care about illegal fireworks any. Just don’t get yourself killed.
