"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 to 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 forever." John Adams
Our celebration, or his prediction, is off by 2 days, but it's great to see his hopes are still carried out, and we still remember to celebrate the liberation and birth of our great nation.
God Bless America!
Happy Independence Day!
