#july4th

It's that time!!!!

Today's brand new 4th of July themed Dietz Dolls pinup artwork is another tribute in the style of Bill Randall with ‘Rockets Red Glare’! "Amber knelt close with a spark in her eye, Lighting the fuse on this Fourth of July. Hand pressed to ear for the boom she will hear, Her good looks made the danger disappear!"

Happy Birthday Steeb ❤️💙🤍

Happy 250th birthday tomorrow!

On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopts our Declaration of Independence. It had already resolved on July 2 that “these United Colonies are, and, of right, ought to be, Free and Independent States . . . .” Now it formally adopted a written document, too.

It took nearly a month to write the Declaration. You may know that Thomas Jefferson was the primary author, but he had help, too.

What is the rest of the story?

On June 11, Congress nominated a “Committee of Five” to draft a declaration. This committee did not leave a written record of its deliberations. Instead, the accounts we have were written many years later, when memories had faded. Many of them were conflicting. We may never know exactly how our Declaration was drafted, but we can get a general idea of the series of events.
