The 4th of July celebrates an extraordinary day in our country's history. Regarding the day America declared our independence, John Adams wrote, "...[It] 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 more".
Many thanks to those who have defended our America and those who do so now.
Wishing you a splendid 4th of July.
