Happy 4th of July!
We hope you, your family and friends have a
fun and safe celebration today. For many of us, the 4th of July includes
watching an amazing fireworks display.
But do you know why we watch fireworks on the 4th of July?
On July 3, 1776, John Adams wrote to his wife
and said the signing of the Declaration of Independence should be a “great
anniversary festival...solemnized with Pomp and Parade...Bonfires and
Illuminations…”
One year later, Congress announced the
tradition, and a grand showcase of fireworks was held in Philadelphia. In the
following years, the tradition of fireworks displays spread to other cities.
The 4th of July is a historical date in
America’s history. Have a wonderful celebration, and remember the origin of 4th
of July fireworks as you watch those beautiful displays.
