Learn from Your Past

The year 2026 is a very important one. Of course, July 4 marks the 250th birthday of the United States of America. A 250th anniversary of an event is called a semiquincentennial. We’ve been celebrating all year. It's been pretty amazing. On the weekend of the 4th, the day we know as Independence Day, there were celebrations from coast to coast. Music, fireworks, flyovers, and flags filled the air everywhere. It was a joyful occasion for most. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to celebrate two 50‐year anniversaries of our country. Mine are 1976 and 2026.

Abstract

The year 2026 is a very important one. Of course, July 4 marks the 250th birthday of the United States of America. A 250th anniversary of an event is called a semiquincentennial. We’ve been celebrating all year. It's been pretty amazing. On the weekend of the 4th, the day we know as Independence Day, there were celebrations from coast to coast. Music, fireworks, flyovers, and flags filled the air everywhere. It was a joyful occasion for most. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to celebrate two 50‐year anniversaries of our country. Mine are 1976 and 2026.
