Independence Day, July 4
Besides being the birth date of our nation, July 4 is also the birthday
of those letter-writing twins, Abigail Van Buren ("Dear Abby") and Ann
Landers. George M. Cohan was born on July 3, 1878, but always celebrated
it on July 4. In 1906 he wrote the popular patriotic song, "You're a
Grand Old Flag," followed by the well-known "Yankee Doodle Dandy" in
1908. In Hannibal, Missouri, July 4 is Tom Sawyer Fence Painting Day.
So, write a letter, sing a song or two, and then paint the fence.
You're a grand old flag, / You're a high-flying flag, / And forever in
peace may you wave . . . . -- George M. Cohan, American actor and
producer (1878-1942)
