The 4th of July

Hey everyone, Happy 4th! That time has come again
where we get together with friends and family and
PIG OUT! :P If you mean to or not it happens. =o
But it's always great to get together isn't it! :)
Hope you all have had a great day! And don't forget
to remember what today really was set aside for! :)
Thank God that we are as free as we are!
"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 forevermore. " ~ John Adams in a
Letter to Abigail Adams (1776-07-03); because of the official adoption of the United States
Declaration of Independence on two days later, the fourth of July rather than the second, became known as the US Independence Day.

I hope I didn't kill your eyes with that, mine are sure shot though! =o
