4th of July Fireworks Display at Aviano!
July 4th, 2010 categories: Desert Ridge Homes
Happy 4th of July! This is always one of my favorite holidays as I love my country and I love to be reminded throughout the day of what a great country I live in.
The signing of the Declaration of Independence on this day declared our independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. It marked the beginning of the United States as we know it.
John Adams, one of the the signers on the Declaration of Independence and our 2nd president, wrote this to his wife Abigail on July 3rd, 1776.
The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.
John Adams was off by two days as we celebrate Independence Day on July 4th, but he was not wrong about the celebration.
Today I hope you celebrate with your friends and family and be reminded of what or country and its freedoms means to you.
If you live in Aviano there are festivities beginnings at 6pm in the Aviano Park. There will be free snow cones, groovy glow necklaces and lots of great music. Bring your blankets and picnic baskets and enjoy the fun. Fireworks will begin at 9pm. I saw this fireworks last year and I have to say I was totally totally entertained and shocked how good the display was.
While this is a wonderful holiday it is also a very deadly holiday with many traveling on this weekend. Please be safe and do not drink and drive.
God bless our troops who fight every day for our freedom. The sacrifices they and their families make are impossible to measure. Thank you!
