Ironically in the same year July 4 became a federal holiday we were at war in December.

I always wondered it we should be celebrating on the day the declaration was actually signed or at the end of the war and the treaty signed. Oh well. I have always loved July 4th, with picnics, gatherings, fireworks, decorating my bike with crepe paper, etc. Last night the children next door were jumping on their trampoline while singing the Star Spangle Banner. Funny and moving at the same time. The unity of the country was always strong on that day. Only hoping.
