Enjoy the weekend with family and friends - celebrate our freedom

So why do we celebrate the 4th of July with parades, fireworks and BBQ? Many believe that if has to do with a letter John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail on July 2nd 1776 about America’s Independence. In the letter he wrote ” The day will be most memorable in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, bonfire and illuminations (fireworks) from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward and forever more.”
