    It wasn't written in one sitting Ryan, it was written and changed over a course of time estimated to be two or three months.

    when and why did it become the 4th? (serious question here)
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    The Continental Congress voted to declare independence from Great Britain on July 2, but the actual wording of the Declaration of Independence was approved on July 4.

    And after spending 7 hours waiting for the fireworks on Saturday, I'm just glad they didn't do it in January!

    I was lucky enough to be back in the city on the 4th this year. Unfortunately the fireworks were on the Hudson this year which meant I couldn't go up to my roof and watch them; but still made it out to the river and got some front row seats thanks to a few people...

    What a show it was this year! Great feeling to be an American!

    My suggestion for future July 4ths: Get a 2-ship of B-1s and fly them at 50' AGL over the Hudson with full burners to kick off the event! That would be a show!

    On this date in 1776, the Liberty Bell rang from Independence Hall to signal the first public reading of the Declaration. It had taken a few days to get the final draft printed all pretty-like.
