I was in middle school in 1976 for our Bicentennial and let me tell you, THAT was a nationwide party. For a whole year we prepared. TV stations ran "Bicentennial Minutes" during primetime. Actors came out and told stories about our nation's birth. We sang songs, decked out buildings. My brother had a red, white and blue room with Bicentennial sheets on the bed! Every small town around us had their own parade. We had plates, cups and so much merch it was crazy. We were in Philly before the 4th and it was madness. SO many songs came out (COMIN' TO AMERICA!) and joy was in the air.
This year? I'm quietly at home, just having dinner on the deck if the rain stops. Hopefully you have some grand plans in the works. In the meantime, enjoy these fun photos I've found around the net about GH.
CHEERS!
