landru spreading more manure i see ok ch 4 time to clean up this blog grab some lysol.i love that LEE GREENWOOD SONG. To me that is what AMERICA is about getting our independence from a tyrannical dictator and coming to a country where we can be free and worship god and pray and send our kids to school to learn about our country and other countries and make them ready to lead our world someday. along with god and prayer and bible study in school and our homes and churches we need god back in ameirca. That is why we celebrate the fourth of july and with hopefully great music but that song by lee greenwood just fills we with love for my country and for our brave men and women fighting for us and our freeedom overseas. that is what america is all about and if you do,nt like that why do,nt you move to russia or iraq i will book your flight
Oh boy, more history! And from such an authoritative source too.
I certainly agree that only AMERICAN music should have been played. It looks like half the setlist was foreigners. We can do better than that Lee Greenwood tripe too.
Wikipedia once again..
Independence Day fireworks are often accompanied by patriotic songs such as the national anthem “The Star-Spangled Banner”, “God Bless America”, “America the Beautiful”, “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee”, “This Land Is Your Land”, “Stars and Stripes Forever”, and, regionally, “Yankee Doodle” in northeastern states and “Dixie” in southern states. Some of the lyrics recall images of the Revolutionary War or the War of 1812.
Dawn,....Broncodan said it better than I could have….If we would have never taken prayer out of schools, if families were driven to Please God rather than themselves or other men (meaning all humans,not just men)we would not be in the shape we are in….I also grew up in the 60’s/70’s…Yes, we had wrong going on then but overall people were christians and wanted to do for others not like nowadays with this gimme, gimme, gimme,and being an American was something held very dear to ones heart….....I think our country is turning away from God and country….Not like it used to be,....Now back to what we started on here with…..
I think we should only have Patriotic songs during fireworks….
For Landru..(Copy and Paste-Wikipedia)...
During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the American colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia.[4] After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five, with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Congress debated and revised the Declaration, finally approving it on July 4. A day earlier, John Adams had written to his wife Abigail:
“ The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch 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 commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.[5] ”
Adams’ prediction was off by two days. From the outset, Americans celebrated independence on July 4, the date shown on the much-publicized Declaration of Independence, rather than on July 2, the date the resolution of independence was approved in a closed session of Congress.[6]
One of the most enduring myths about Independence Day is that Congress signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.[7][8] The myth had become so firmly established that, decades after the event and nearing the end of their lives, even the elderly Thomas Jefferson and John Adams had come to believe that they and the other delegates had signed the Declaration on the fourth.[9] Most delegates actually signed the Declaration on August 2, 1776.[10] In a remarkable series of coincidences, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, two founding fathers of the United States and the only two men who signed the Declaration of Independence to become president, died on the same day: July 4, 1826, which was the United States’ 50th anniversary. President James Monroe died exactly five years later, on July 4, 1831, but he was not a signatory to the Declaration of Independence.
Observance
In 1777, thirteen gunshots were fired, once at morning and again as evening fell, on July 4 in Bristol, Rhode Island. Philadelphia celebrated the first anniversary in a manner a modern American would find quite familiar: an official dinner for the Continental Congress, toasts, 13-gun salutes, speeches, prayers, music, parades, troop reviews, and fireworks. Ships were decked with red, white, and blue bunting.
Fireworks are our way of showing our Independence…
Diamondhair1, thanks for the history lesson. But “rockets’ red glare etc.“ isn’t from the Revolutionary War. And when I think of the Declaration of Independence, I think of diplomacy and statesmanship, Independence Hall and John Hancock, and a vision of a peaceful productive land.
wanting to change things all the time..If SOME things were the same, we wouldn’t be in the shape we are in…
well maybe she meant if we had prayer back in our schools and our homes. go back in the era i grew up in in the sixtys to now maybe we would all be a lot better off. i believe in putting god back in america and back in our homes and familys please god back in our families. tell you what i think we need to go back to what this country was founded on god and prayer and church and home and families i miss that. come on now ch and landru start running your pieholes as to why we do,nt need god why do,nt you two move to russia
