Hello Harmony Health Tribe! a bit of trivia for Independence Day:
Did You Know?

*The first Independence Day celebration took place in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776; was first read in public after people were summoned by the ringing of the Liberty Bell.
*Congress made Independence Day an official unpaid holiday in 1870.
*Only John Hancock actually signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
*The Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 men from 13 colonies; average age of the Signers was 45.
