Evil doesn't take a day off and neither do I.

Happy 4 of July from your neighbours to the north.

Gettysburg Mate.

Although fought from July 1st through 3rd?
Most people in the U.S.A. remember it better and are amazed it had nothing to do with July 4th other then retreat and aftermath.

Battle of Vicksburg

Quote:

On July 4, Vicksburg surrendered after prolonged siege operations. This was the culmination of one of the most brilliant military campaigns of the war. With the loss of Pemberton’s army and this vital stronghold on the Mississippi, the Confederacy was effectively split in half. Grant's successes in the West boosted his reputation, leading ultimately to his appointment as General-in-Chief of the Union armies.

Happy Declaration of Independence Day to our Southern Neighbour.

Found out a few years back that I am one of the many descendants of John Charles Carroll of Carollton, one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, representing the State of Virginia (my father's mother was a Carroll), so I guess I am at least part American...

Takeda Shingen · 07-04-12, 02:43 PM

And here I was thinking today was about the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Color me stupid.

Anyway, thanks for the continued kind wishes from you non-Yanks.
