It may take a couple more years to get the celebration into full swing.
Don't let them be debbie downer to your Sam Kinneson...
Few people know any more about the 4th of July than it is a time to drink beer and set off Fireworks.
The Revolutionary War started in April of 1775 and lasted until 1783. July 4th is when the Declaration Of Independence was signed, and not the date our independence was won.
Significant, yes, understood, no…
If true I am astounded.... The Celebration was after the boys came out of (what is now) Independence Hall and read The Declaration. The torries then shunk and slinked back to theier homes "like mincie little [bleep] balls" (Bullet Tooth Tony)
April 19, 1775----THE SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD! The day the colonials stood strong to oppose tyranny and the kings attempt to disarm Lexington and Cocord Massachusetts.
It was one of the most significant events in colonial America. The day many freedom loving people decided they would no longer be subjects of the crown.
In many ways it was the day the United States of America was born. That day changed the course of history not only for America, but the world.
Sadly, in the very place where our liberty and our nation were born, we are facing the same tyranny today. The 'king' is once again hell bent on disarming America.
God bless all those who rose up to secure our liberty and all those who have sense fought a died to maintain that liberty!
Happy 4th!
God bless the U.S A!!!
