Many Americans have forgotten our nation’s history. Some people think the 4th of July is when we commemorate the day Lewis & Clark discovered Plymouth Rock and celebrated the first Thanksgiving with Benjamin Franklin. Pffft. Here in Georgia we know Independence Day is all about fireworks on Lake Lanier.
