May 15, 1776, Virginia declares independence from Great Britain. A radical seal is designed with tyranny being overthrown. Robert Scot engraves the Virginia Seal on paper money with Sic Semper Tyrannis - thus always to tyrants:

Happy FOURTH !!
Four score and seven years ago today, the great Abraham Lincoln gazed out upon the poppies of Flanders Field
and saw a vision. He had a dream. And little did he know that in a humble attic not far away, little Rosa Parks
was valiantly sewing our first flag unmindful of the Communist threat.
Yes, even then he could not envision that a humble midnight ride by that early patriot, John Birch, would signal
a great war for our security.
From the bitter winter that George Washington spent at the battle of the bulge would spring a new nation,
conceived in diversity and dedicated to a valiant legislature that would steer our course unerringly
toward the freedom that we enjoy today.
And as Santa Anna drove his dagger into woodsman Daniel Boone, little did he know that he could not with
such a craven cowardly act deprive the United States of our ancestors' concepts of the honor of greatness
and the much beloved prospectus of the American corporation.
This one is from at least 1976 - as flown from home today.
