We watched the PBS July 3, 2026, "A Capitol Fourth – 250th Weekend Celebration." It was a wonderful production. Brought tears to my eyes once or twice
We also watched a lot of the Macy's fireworks, Boston fireworks with the Boston Pops Orchestra, Nashville's fireworks and entertainment.
Across the country so many people and organizations did so much to celebrate our independence and Democracy.
