| 51448 | America turns 250 | <p>I feel blessed to have witnessed the build-up to America's 200th Birthday for 1976.

| 51447 | America turns 250 | <p>Went on a trip to North Carolina and was held up in traffic over some fireworks shows here and there. I miss going on little hilltops to join groups of people setting them off.</p> | Benjanime | Jul 05, 2026 | |
