Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th to you and your family! I found this awesome graphic of “The 4th of July by the Numbers” on Pinterest. I know that it is difficult to read, you can use the link at the bottom of the post to go directly to the source.

There are so many cool facts… for instance, the first one you can’t make out here says, “The Continental Congress voted for independence on July 2, 1776, but didn’t approve the declaration until the 4th.”

My favorite fact? “On the Fourth of July Americans eat 150 million hot dogs, enough to stretch from D.C. to L.A. more than Five Times!”

The fact that most surprised me?  Only “66% display an American flag.” That’s pathetic! Make sure to proudly fly our colors today!

Hurray for the Red, White, and Blue!

My linking capabilities are still missing, so please copy/paste this link into your browser to better see the graphic. Happy 4th!
