How do you celebrate Independence Day?

From the lens Independence Day-July 2nd.

    We always thought Independence Day should really be October 19th (when Washington finally broke the British at Yorktown). July 2nd (or 4th) is really more properly: "the day the British loaded their muskets and got on the boats." :-)

    Good point :). Strange that I'm just now seeing your comment. Oh well at least it showed up :).

    In our town we celebrate our Independence Day the Saturday before the 4th so I don't think it really matters exactly what day it is as long as we celebrate! I enjoyed reading this and am lensrolling to my Freedom Fest lens and leaving you with a Squid Angel Blessing.

    I am so glad you enjoyed. This was my first lens attempt and I had no idea what I was doing. Now I have a very small idea :). Thank you very much for the blessing.

    Sadly I vaguely remember it from school. Living with the focus on the 4th for so long made me forget. The same thing happened with the Declaration signers. Some later remembered the date as the 4th instead of the 2nd.

    I had no idea that the date should be July 2nd rather than July 4th!
