OUR DAY OF DELIVERANCE
November 4th, 2008 will forever be celebrated as Dependence Day. It will be commemorated as our Day of deliverance. It will be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward.
