Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 "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 forever more. John Adams" *(John thought the 2nd would be the day because that's when congress voted to break from England, but the Declaration wasn't signed until the 4th.)
