Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Up the rebels! John Adams said: “It will be the most memorable Epocha, 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 with shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this continent to the other from this Time forward forever more” I gotta admit, that gives me a bit of a lump in my throat. Have a great celebration pards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
