The Declaration of Independence was given final approval on July 4th, 1776, but it was not until August 2nd that most of the delegates actually signed it.

Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826)[1] was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and one of the most influential Founding Fathers for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States. Major events during his presidency include the Louisiana Purchase (1803) and the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806).

John Adams (October 30, 1735 – July 4, 1826) was an American politician and the second President of the United States (1797–1801), after being the first Vice President (1789–1797) for two terms. He is regarded as one of the most influential Founding Fathers of the United States.

All those men were truly brave. Truly strong.

Another thing, my dog gets seizures from bright lights, including lightning and every year he gets the seizures, and he is on medications for it, and one day without them, he gets seizures without the bright lights.
And just one more thing, one of my mom's coworker's nephew got 3 of his fingers blow off due to fireworks, because he didn't get out of the way soon enough, and now he is messed up, for life.
So I think you can see why I do not like fireworks.
This year I'm not going to call the cops though, my dad is a cop, and if they do, my dad is going out there himself.
