July 4th 1776 marks the day when the Continental Congress voted to approve the draft document we know as the Declaration of Independence.  But two days earlier, on July 2nd 1776, the same Continental Congress voted to formally adopt the Lee Resolution – that the 13 Colonies should be “free and independent States” from Great Britain.  Of this day, John Adams wrote it “will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival… It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade with shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this continent to the other from this Time forward forever more” 

In honor of these days, 8 PAX came out on a humid 67 degree morning to celebrate “F3-style” what John Adams envisioned 245 years ago.  This was the first time YHC posted at the #underground1 AO along with Cheeks as part of our “Sticky Buns” NETN F3 AO Tour.

YHC shared how appreciative we should be to live in this country.  I often take it for granted and encouraged the PAX to be thankful to God for allowing us to live here.
