Excerpt: The United States Bicentennial was a series of celebrations and observances during the mid-1970s that paid tribute to historical events leading up to the creation of the United States as an independent republic. The Bicentennial culminated on Sunday, July 4, 1976, with the 200th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Founding Fathers in the Second Continental Congress. A wave of patriotism and nostalgia swept the nation.(Submitted on July 21, 2026, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
