I am so glad to live in America!
I found this one the other day at an antique sale. It is the Tulsa World July 4th 1976 Bicentennial edition. That was the year I graduated from Checotah High School. Can you believe I got it for $.25? What a treasure!
This was one of the articles in the Tulsa World. I liked the picture.
The heading says "We Moved Slowly Into Independence".
This is a picture taken at the Paul Henry Carr Day in Checotah, Oklahoma in 1991. The VFW, of which my parents were members, built the float for the parade. It was a ship. The three children on the right are my kids. The other children are my nieces and a nephew. My daddy stands Very Proudly in the background. I love this picture.
* I almost forgot to mention that the uniforms are original whites and blues that we found in an old abandoned house near my parents home. The sailor must have been really small because we did minimal alterations for the clothes to fit the kids.
