The signers of the Declaration of Independence would be heartbroken to say the least if they saw how we celebrate this holiday today. Not because of the fireworks, or barbecues, or...
“I believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other…”
Written by John Adams, Second President of the United States of America, in a letter to his wife, Abigail.
The above quote was taken from: http://military.rightpundits.com/2009/07/04/independence-day-history-f... />
It is pathetic that while we do celebrate it similarly to how President Adams describes, we can miss the whole point.
I don't mean to offend but are you really in Pakistan?
