“...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.”
-John Adams ( in a letter to his wife Abigal shortly after the signing)
Its another 4th of July in our Country. Celebrating our nations birthday, so many have lost sight of why we have this day. In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was written and signed on July 2nd. That one document changed our world forever. We were a young nation, free of tyranny. It was a real reason to celebrate.
So here we here some 200 + years later...are we still free? Are we still under the effects of tryanny?
hmmmm interesting questions to ponder for this July 4th. This holiday is so very important to our countries history, I do think that this year July 4th is one of the most important ever, as we the people are once again fighting for our freedoms and fighting to break the chains of tyranny.
I hope you all who read my little blog have a wonderful and safe 4th of July!
