I read on The White House website today.
It reminds me and Americans to remember about
Independence Day. It is very important on US
History to me and Americans. We enjoy and
celebrate our age is being 236th of the Independence
Day. Let me share with my story about 1776-1976 was
age of 200th. I sent a old black / white photo in
my message video to my Dad. He enjoyed it. I was
being very young Scout Cub.
Where was I ? Look for Brent. What do you think?
In 1976, President Gerald Ford marked the nation’s
bicentennial with a series of celebrations across
the country. Among the many unique events was the
Bicentennial Wagon Train Pilgrimage, where covered
wagons converged in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania after
crossing the nation on historic trails. President
Ford, who was raised in Michigan, boarded the
Michigan wagon at the encampment in Valley Forge
State Park.
Over the years, Presidents have celebrated
Independence Day with commemorative ceremonies,
White House picnics, family gatherings, and of
course, fireworks. Some Presidents preferred to
relax away from the White House – Lyndon B. Johnson
traditionally spent the holiday at his ranch in
Stonewall, Texas. Others have traced the history of
the holiday with visits to Independence Hall in
Philadelphia.
The Liberty Bell is an original. The Liberty Bell was broken, but can not repair it. God bless Brent, Liberty Bell and the United States of America.
Independence Hall is a U.S. national landmark located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Chestnut Street between 5th and 6th Streets. Known primarily as the location where both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted.The building was completed in 1753 as the Pennsylvania State House for the Province of Pennsylvania. It became the principal meeting place of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1783 and was the site of the Constitution Convention in the summer of 1787. The building is part of Independence National Historical Park and is listed as a World Heritage Site.
The Entrance Door is in Independence Hall. The beautiful fireplace is behind the desk.
President George Washington's desk is in the Assembly Room. The Crystal Light is oldest beautiful candle holder.
The symbol designed by the hands. The Ink and Feather is a historical display for Signatures of the Assembly including President George Washington, Declaration of the Independence, US Constitution, Bill of the Rights and We The People.
The statue of President George Washington stands in front of the Independence Hall. Clock Tower is located in the Independence Hall.
The oldest watch made by the hands.
Happy 236th Independence Day!
