For the 242nd time… 🙂
Independence Day, also known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the USA that celebrates the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
On this date, the Continental Congress declared the thirteen American colonies were a new nation called the United States of America.
This meant the colonies were no longer part of the British Empire.
Celebrations include fireworks, parades, and assorted other ‘celebrations’…
Mine will be a little more prosaic… Burger, ‘tater salad, hot dogs, and apple pie with ice cream. If I can move after that, maybe fireworks at the airport.
I hope each and everyone enjoys the day, and take a moment to remember those in the military, the police, Fire/EMS who are out there every day!
Happy Independence Day, Jim. Party like it’s 1776.
Happy Independence day to all who frequent this fine establishment.
Hey Old NFO;

He has the largest BBQ/grill rig, so he lost the toss yet again.
Enjoy it!
Happy Independence Day! Oh, if we were only half the men our forefathers were…
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
Enjoy your Independence Day, Jim! And your celebratory activities. The day always makes me remember the fun times we had as kids with fireworks and family and also of why we have this special day – so we can freely enjoy all the blessings we have in this great country while remembering the bravery and sacrifice of those that made it possible.
All- Thanks! Get out and enjoy our Independence!!!
