ORIGIN, HISTORY AND TRADITIONS OF THE FOURTH OFJULY - Unknown

About Fourth of July!

Independence Day is the birthday of the United States of America and is celebrated on the Fourth of July each year. Independence Day is the anniversary of the day on which the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.

John Adams, one of the founders of our new nation, said, "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 for evermore."

Independence Day was first celebrated in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776.

In l941, Congress declared July 4 as a legal public holiday.

EVERYONE HAVE A HAPPY 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY. ENJOY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!
