Did you know, the 4th of July didn’t become a real thing until 1940s, and that the declaration was actually signed in the 2nd of july.
It’s more to do with cheering up the country (originally) and celebrating Jefferson’s death (on the 4th July) and someone else who signed the declaration, who died on the 4th July also.
Happy Independence Day USA
Happy Birthday to anyone else celebrating their birthday today.

The Declaration of Independence
We celebrate American Independence Day on the Fourth of July every year. We think of July 4, 1776, as a day that represents the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation.
But July 4, 1776 wasn’t the day that the Continental Congress decided to declare independence (they did that on July 2, 1776).
It wasn’t the day we started the American Revolution either (that had happened back in April 1775).
And it wasn’t the day Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence (that was in June 1776). Or the date on which the Declaration was delivered to Great Britain (that didn’t happen until November 1776). Or the date it was signed (that was August 2, 1776).
So what did happen on July 4, 1776?
The Continental Congress approved the final wording of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. They’d been working on it for a couple of days after the draft was submitted on July 2nd and finally agreed on all of the edits and changes.
July 4, 1776, became the date that was included on the Declaration of Independence, and the fancy handwritten copy that was signed in August (the copy now displayed at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.) It’s also the date that was printed on the Dunlap Broadsides, the original printed copies of the Declaration that were circulated throughout the new nation. So when people thought of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 was the date they remembered.
In contrast, we celebrate Constitution Day on September 17th of each year, the anniversary of the date the Constitution was signed, not the anniversary of the date it was approved. If we’d followed this same approach for the Declaration of Independence we’d being celebrating Independence Day on August 2nd of each year, the day the Declaration of Independence was signed!

I would LOOOOVE even a dollar or two discount on the new 6ft or PL+ II (that red is BEAUTIFUL)
I actually have the doorbell covered @AnkerOfficial @Quinn_Armstrong @Chiquinho Thanks for the offer! 
Will Smith for sure!
I have 2 soundcore flares and they are some of the best speakers I have used, period. I really want to get a flare mini, it has a great spec sheet as always with anker. Anker has never dissapointed me, the only time an anker product didn’t do what they claimed it would was when it did more than they claimed it would. Go Anker!!!
Lucky you they look amazing
They really are, if you have been considering getting one I would say go for it. You won’t be dissapointed.
