Chatting About Independence Day Whereas within the Kitchen Collectively
This yr, as we constructed our dessert, we had an important dialogue in regards to the 4th of July and the colours that symbolize America.
The colours of crimson, white and blue have been chosen to be represented within the Nice Seal of the USA by the Continental Congress in 1782:
- White to imply purity & innocence
- Pink for valor & hardiness
- Blue for vigilance, perseverance, & justice
I used to be shocked to search out that my older youngsters had a reasonably good grasp of what these phrases meant and the way they utilized to our nation in 1782.
With out the perseverance, hardiness, and purity of our founding fathers, American wouldn’t be what it’s right now.
