Obeo would like to wish you a very fun and safe 4th of July weekend! May your parades, your back yard barbecues, and your fireworks be filled love and appreciation for our wonderful Nation. In honor of this day, Obeo wanted to share a few things with you:
- Here is an interesting 4th of July Fact: On July 4th, 1716 the population of our newly formed independent Nation was 2.5 million. Today, our Nation’s population is about 309.6 million.
- How about a patriotic recipe for the 4th of July? Here is a mac and cheese recipe from Bess Truman, the wife of Harry S. Truman.
- Are you taking a watermelon on your 4th of July Picnic? Here are some great Watermelon Recipes!
- Did you know you can purchase American Flags that have been flown over our capitol? They come with a certificate of authenticity….very cool!
- The 4th of July is a perfect day to thank our Troops. Here is a link to the US Department of Defense’s, Thank the Troops Message Form. Super easy to use!
- Become a volunteer! Here is a list of all the government organizations who could use your help.
- Would you like to take a tour of the US Capitol? Here’s a virtual tour (unfortunately NOT done by Obeo)
- Have you taken a look at our Declaration of Independence lately? Can’t believe I memorized this in 5th grade!
Happy 4th of July from Obeo!
