Happy Wednesday to everyone at KK. I hope you all survived yesterday and
were not kept up to late by the fireworks.
So I thought it would be fun to exercise everyone's mind with a little
Independence Day trivia. I found the following facts on several different
websites, so hope they are accurate. These are little known and interesting
facts that you may not learn in history class.

. "Yankee Doodle," one of our patriotic songs, was originally sung by
British military officers before the Revolution as a means to mock
disorganized American patriots, who fought alongside them during the French
and Indian wars.

1826 on July 4?

national symbol?
