“The day will be the most memorable 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 solemnized with pomp and parade…bonfires and illuminations (fireworks) from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward, forever more.”
John Adams, July 3, 1777
Happy 4th everyone
To those that have and continue to fight for our freedom....thank you. As I read in an opinion piece the other day, "Despite whatever other issues we're wrestling with these days, preserving freedom is our # 1 priority."
Happy Independence Day, America.

P.S. That thing that looks like a blot on Maggie's blouse are my "blood wings" that I sent her. I said she was 13 at the time, but she corrected me and said she was 14. Do any of you old timers remember a song by Tony Bennet? It was called "From the candy store on the corner to the chapel on the hill"......That came out in 1954,it was our song...............
