Independence Day (The Movie) Had a statement that the 4th of July would no longer be just an American Holiday... etc etc etc... That happens to be very true.

July 4th 1997 Hong Kong celebrates its Independence Day from British rule, when Britains lease on the "Colony" was up.
July 4th 1946 the Philippines celebrated its cessation of being a US Territory. It is known as Republic Day.
July 5th 1962 (Missed it by 1 day) Algeria Celebrates its independence from France.

There are other independence days in July like the Bahamas which is on July 10th and the three listed above. It must be the weather

Why bother having an Independence Day celebration in the middle of winter.

Yup, The declaration of Independence and US Constitution were not the only wise things to come from the founding fathers

The foresight of BBQs, fireworks, A few Cold Beers, A great Fishing trip, a few more cold beers

and everything else one does over the summer, had to have been one of their greatest "Nostradamus" Moments.

Sorry I missed the "This day in history board" over the last few weeks. Its been rough getting back in the saddle, so to speak.

Hope everyone enjoyed July.

Had to add a few of our obsessions

I was actually in Hong Kong for the 10th anniversary in 2007. That was one heck of a party and a huge firework show all across Hong Kong. I had a great seat at the Shangri La overlooking Victoria Harbour.

Enjoy
