Important Patriotic Anniversary!

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: Wednesday 09 September 2009 will be the two hundredth and thirty-third birthday of our United States of America!!! On 09 September 1776, the Continental Congress voted to change the name of our country from the "United Colonies" to the "United States". Shall we celebrate? What activities would mark an appropriate observance? Thank you.
