Happy 4th
Independence Day, July 4th, has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution (1775-83). In June 1776, representatives of the 13 colonies then fighting in the revolutionary struggle weighed a resolution that would declare their independence from Great Britain. On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later its delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 until the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence.
Wishing you a safe and happy 4th!

Oh Say Can You See......
The words for the Star-Spangled Banner, written by Francis Scott Key, sprang to life as he was observing the Bombardment of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. Originally it was a poem of Key's entitled "Defense of Fort McHenry," that came to be sung to the tune of "To Anacreon in Heaven." It's melody was attributed to an Englishman named John Stafford Smith. Benjamin Carr of Baltimore published the first musical edition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" that grew in popularity with the passage of time. In 1931 an act of Congress made it the official national anthem of the United Stated.
Thanking God for the Freedom to enjoy Independence Day!
Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

The Wright brothers take to the sky
What better Sky Watch than the birthplace of aviation.
Could these men have ever dreamed what their determination has birthed??
