HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, 2019

Gonna be a beautiful thing, just happy to have made another one before they make it illegal to celebrate the birth of a great nation.

Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, July 3, 1776.

But the Day is past. The Second Day of July 1776,* will be the most memorable Epocha, 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 Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

* The final version of the Declaration of Independence was signed by the delegates on July 2, but approved by the full Continental Congress on July 4.
