Happy Birthday America

Independence Day 

is America's birthday 

and it is celebrated on July 4th 

each year since 1776!  

On this day, it is customary to 

fly the American Flag 

and adorn yourself in 

Red, White and Blue 

to show your patriotism.  

It is customary to celebrate 

with barbeques, picnics, 

fun with family and friends, 

and fireworks booming 

into the night sky.  

 

In 1776, approximately 2.5 million 

people lived in America.  

Today, more than 300 million people 

live in the 

United States of America.  

 

The Fourth of July includes 

such foods as Hotdogs, 

Hamburgers, Watermelon, Cherries, 

and Apple and Cherry pies.  

The Fourth of July is

a day to celebrate our

freedom!

Holiday Headquarters

wishes you and your families

a safe and fun 

Independence Day!

July 4, 1776

Thirteen Colonies in North American each established 

a government within the colony to govern themselves 

but still recognized their inclusion of the British Empire.

 During the last half of the 18th century, These thirteen 

Colonies fought to legally separate from Great Britain.   

Paul Revere's Midnight Ride on April 18, 1776 warned the 

colonies that the British were coming.  The British invaded 

with their powerful navy to block the coast.  

George Washington, the American Commander, worked 

 with the governments and states and led his army 

to claim the thirteen Colonies.  

The Governments from each colony then met to write the 

Declaration of Independence.  On July 4, 1776, John Hancock, 

John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and 52 others 

signed the United States Declaration of Independence which marked 

the day when Congress unanimously approved it.  

John Adams wrote a letter to his wife stating that this day 

would be the most memorable day in history and that it 

should be "commemorated as the day of solemn acts of devotion 

to God almighty and should be celebrated with pomp and parade, 

with shows, games, sports, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, 

from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more." 

 Reference to John Adams Letter

From that day forward, the Fourth of July has 

become a day of celebration that is celebrated across the 

entire United States.  It is a day filled of freedom celebrated 

by parades, good food with family and friends and fireworks 

displays come with load booms and light up the sky 

from sea to shining sea.

 

Downright Awesome Dude

Downright Awesome Dude

Fathers are very special in so many ways.   

And whether you call yours Father, Pops, Dad, or Daddy

they all are an amazing man who has shown us love.

Dads are role models. 

For Daddy's Little Girl, he treats her like a princess

and teaches her the value of love. 

Love he shows not only to her but to her mother as well. 

Dads are heros.

For Daddy's Little Boy, he guides him and teaches

him how to take care of the house

and shows him how to pursue his dreams.

So this year when you are buying Dad

a brand new wallet

Men's Guess Wallet

or a brand new tie set

Alexander Julian Tie Set with Cufflinks

or a brand new pair of slippers

Brookstone Men's Slippers

or anything else,

make sure to celebrate DAD

and all the special gifts he has given you!

Don't Forget Dad!

Father's Day is right around the corner

and Holiday Headquarters is here

to make sure that you don't forget

your dear ol' dad on his special day! 

On Father's Day he is the 
owner of the remote control, 

king of the grill, 

and royalty who gets to kick back 
in the hammock for the day! 

 

This is his day to celebrate him

and all the wonderful things he has done! 
 
Don't Forget to get your dad
this Father's Day, June 16, 2013!

Thank You Heroes

As you celebrate Memorial Day, 

don't forget to remember those heroes

who have lost their lives 

serving to protect us so that we can 

continue to be free. 

 As you remember lost loved ones 

who gave their lives to keep us safe, 

don't forget to thank those who 

continue to serve and protect us! 

  Memorial Day is a time to Love, Honor and Thank 

so many Heroes for the sacrifices they make 

to ensure our safety! 

Holiday Headquarters would like to say 

THANK YOU HEROES!  

And wish everyone a very safe 

and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Remember Them

In just a a week or so, 

it will be time to celebrate 

Memorial Day!  

Many people think of Memorial Day 

as a time to go camping, 

have a barbeque or just get out of town 

for the long weekend.  

Memorial Day is much more 

than an extra day off.  

It is a time to remember 

those loved ones who lost their lives 

fighting for our country.  

It is a time to recognize family 

and friends who have given 

their greatest sacrifice 

so that we can live free in 

peace and happiness. 

So this Memorial Day 

as you are enjoying your time off 

from work, make sure to take time 

to Thank those Heroes 

and Remember those who 

we have lost while they 

were protecting us!
