Historic Tidbit
July 4 is Independence Day when Americans celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the document declaring the nation’s independence of Great Britain on July 4, 1776. The document was drafted by Thomas Jefferson and signed by 56 patriots from the 13 colonies.
Now simply known as the Fourth of July, it is a national holiday celebrated with fireworks and parades. Fly the U.S. flag on this special day in thanks for this great country and its remarkable history.
