Sidney Celebrates Independence Day

Oh, say, can you see? By the dawn’s early light

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming;

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.

And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air.

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:

Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave?

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

On July 3, the Sidney celebrated Independence Day with a fireworks program. May we never forget the sacrifices, the responsibilities and liberties that come with the Declaration of Independence.
