Two-Hundred Forty-Five Years Ago..................
On July 4, 1776, the thirteen colonies claimed their independence from England, an event that eventually led to the formation of the United States. America celebrates the historic event on July 4th, also known as Independence Day.
The conflict between the colonies and England was already a year old when the colonies convened a Continental Congress in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776. In a June 7 session in the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall),
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution with
the famous words: "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that
all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."
On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence. It is said that John Hancock's signed his name "with a great flourish" so England's "King George can read that without spectacles!"
Today, the original copy of the Declaration is housed in the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

The successful Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969.
Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969,
at 20:17 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) .
Apollo 11's journey to the moon took three and a half days.
Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the lunar surface. Armstrong uttered his famous first words;
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Aldrin joined Armstrong and they spend about two hours exploring the lunar surface. They planted the American flag and placed mementos for their fallen peers.
