Indepence Day

Today is July 2nd. It should be remembered that this is the true date of colonies independence. It was  July 2, 1776 that the continental congress voted for and passed the resolution for independence from Great Britain, and approved the Declaration of Independence. Ben Franklin proclaimed that this would be a day celebration into the future. But, the copy completed by the calligrapher dated the Declaration as July 4th. So here we are,  celebrating our independence on the wrong day.
