      INDEPENDENCE DAY (S)

   Well Friends it's July 4th! It's our
son-in-law Josh Boub's Birthday. The
real reason for all those fireworks!
    I know. Some of you are celebrating
Independence Day. But is this climate
of political correctness, revising history,
and tearing down statues, let's be clear
on that!
Delegates from 12 of our original
13 colonies approved a declaration of
independence from Britain on July 2nd.,
1776. Then they argued about the wording
for the next two days agreeing on the
final version on July 4th. But they didn't
sign it! Kind of like having a check that
hasn't been endorsed!
    The signing took a lot longer. Most
signed on August 2nd. A few signed it
days later and a couple never signed it
at all!
     When George Washington read a
copy of the document to a large group
of people in New York they immediately
torn down a statue of King George.
       Guess that's when that trend
actually started! Happy Birthday Josh
and, whatever you're celebrating.
I hope you're well and that all of your
NEWS is good (and accurate!)
