July 4, 1776

[kingsmt]

Riders are sent out from the Continental Congress on a hot summers day in July, 1776.
"It's Independence, Independence." they shout as they ride from town to town.
They use the back roads, take shortcuts through the fields to spread the word.
The British won't take kindly to the news.

"Hear Ye! Hear ye!"

"The United States of America is born today."

[Captain Reid]

Remember to thank the French . . .

We did.
At Normandy.

[von Lucky]

Nice scene and timing.

[Gangleri]

"And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."

[Earther]

We did.
At Normandy.

Don't forget to thank Australia, Canada, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and the United Kingdom for helping you thank the French.
