Independance Day, 2013

To celebrate Independance day, we're going to the gun range for a little practice.  

Here's a music video of the Star Spangled Banner

And this, copied shame-lessly from a FB friend:  

Happy Independence day everyone!  How well do you know your history??
Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the National Day of the United States.

I think that she copied it from somewhere, too, so enjoy.

Happy Independence Day Mick!! I saw a video the other day where a guy was asking people why we celebrated the 4th and one out of ten knew the answer. That is so sad. The gyy eben went as far as to say, "In 1776, when we got our freedom from Mexico, what year did our founding fathers sign the Declaration of Independence?" The answers were as bad as 1974. Yes, it is true. So sad.
