Our nation's independence really began on today's date

That's right, historically, July 2, 1776, is the day the Continental Congress declared independence from Great Britain. We celebrate Independence Day on July 4th because that's the day the paper we're familiar with was actually adopted, but the resolution passed on July 2nd.

So, we really have 2 days to celebrate the actions of our founding fathers.

Brian, the celebrating part of the post was the punchline. The fact that most people are unware of the significance of July 2nd was the story. Thanks.

Steve, that thought occurred to me as well, but then what would I do with all of that time off? :)
