4th
Of July Quote:You have to love a nation that celebrates its Independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw
Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.
-Erma Bombeck

Over 150 million hot dogs will be consumed today. That's roughly 1 dog for every two people in the

China
The first 4th of July party held at the White House was in
1801
The 4th of July was not declared a national holiday until
1941
The national anthem is actually set to the tune of an old English drinking song called To Anacreon in
Heaven
John Hancock was the only person to actually sign the Declaration of Independence on July 4,
1776
The youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence was 26-year-old Edward

40s
When the US became a country, there were 2.5 million people. Today the population is around 304
