In just a couple of days our great nation will celebrate it's Independence Day. Happy Birthday America!! It's been a long and winding road, but here we are. Please share your favorite patriotic trivia. I'll start:

My favorite song is the Star Spangled Banner. For real, more than any other song. Most poeple can sing it by heart, but did you know that there is more than one verse? There are actually four verses to the Star Spangled Banner, and I just can't make it through verse two without getting misty. Yeah, that's right, and I don't care.

Your turn.

Did you know, that we have almost been to war with Canada three times? once was so close there were Canadian "war ships" in the Great Lakes, and that dispute was caused by a farmer chasing his pig into Canada, and Canada claiming it was theirs the second it crossed the border. All disputes were later solved diplomatically.
