Royal Air Force Red Arrows
2008 Rhode Island ANG Open House & Airshow
Quonset State Airport
North Kingstown, RI
Saturday June 28, 2008
IN THIS VIDEO, watch as the Red Arrows fly their
high show over the skies of Quonset State Airport.
This was the second to last performance in their
North American tour and as you can tell by the
reactions of the crowd, everyone absolutely loved
their performance (especially the annoying Boston
idiots you hear shouting profanities in the video,
and for that, I apologize).
Like what you've seen? Well, if you are interested
in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of
airshows, interested in anything and everything
related to airshows (where the jet teams will show
up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from
airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I
will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to
navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or
everything there is related to aviation -
including spotting guides to my favorite airports
and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please

Thus may the 4th of July, that glorious fourt of
julyand ever memorable day, be celebrated through
America, by the sons of freedom, from age to age
till time shall be no more. Amen and Amen."
Virginia Gazette on July 18th, 1777
Schoolchildren in America learn the basic history
of the events surrounding the Fourth of July, but
the details of this monumental occasion in
American history somehow fall through the cracks.
Although July 4th is celebrated as America's
official split from Britain's rule and the
beginning of the American Revolution, the actual
series of events show that the process took far
longer than a single day.
Taxation without representation! That was the
battle cry of the 13 colonies in America who were
forced to pay taxes to England's King George III
with no representation in Parliament. As
dissatisfaction grew, British troops were sent in
to quell any signs of rebellion, and repeated
attempts by the colonists to resolve the crisis
without war proved fruitless.
The original resolution was introduced by Richard
Henry Lee of Virginia on June 7, 1776, and called
for the Continental Congress to declare the United
States free from British rule.
On June 11, 1776, the colonies' Second Continental
Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, formed a
committee with the express purpose of drafting a
document that would formally sever their ties with
Great Britain. The committee included Thomas
Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger
Sherman and Robert R. Livingston. The document was
crafted by Jefferson, who was considered the
strongest and most eloquent writer (nevertheless,
a total of 86 changes were made to his draft!) The
final version, the document that we know as the
Declaration of Independence was officially adopted
by the Continental Congress on July 4, although
the resolution that led to the writing of the
Declaration was actually approved two days
earlier.
The following day, copies of the Declaration of
Independence were distributed and, on July 6, The
Pennsylvania Evening Post became the first
newspaper to print the extraordinary document.
On July 8, 1776, the first public readings of the
Declaration were held in Philadelphia's
Independence Square to the ringing of bells and
band music.
All of this had occurred with some of the
delegates to the Congress not even present; New
York, for example, did not even vote on the
resolution until July 9th. (Did you know that that
not a single signature was appended to the
Declaration on July 4th. While most of the
fifty-six names were in place by early August, one
signer, Thomas McKean, did not actually sign the
Declaration until 1781.)
One year later, on July 4, 1777, Philadelphia
marked Independence Day by adjourning Congress and
celebrating with bonfires, bells and fireworks.
The custom eventually spread to other towns both
large and small, where the day was marked with
processions, oratory, picnics, contests, games,
military displays and fireworks. Observations
throughout the nation became even more common at
the end of the War of 1812 with Great Britain.
On June 24, 1826, Thomas Jefferson sent a letter
to Roger C. Weightman, declining an invitation to
come to Washington, D.C., to help celebrate the
50th anniversary of the Declaration of
Independence. It was the last letter, Jefferson,
who was gravely ill, ever wrote. In it, Jefferson
says of the document:In 1777, thirteen guns were
fired, once at morning and again as evening fell,
on July 4 in Bristol, Rhode Island. Philadelphia
celebrated the first anniversary in a manner a
modern American would find quite familiar: an
official dinner for the Continental Congress,
toasts, 13-gun salutes, speeches, prayers, music,
parades, troop reviews and fireworks. Ships were
decked with red, white and blue bunting.
In 1778, General George Washington marked the
Fourth of July with a double ration of rum for his
soldiers and an artillery salute. Across the
Atlantic Ocean, ambassadors John Adams and
Benjamin Franklin held a dinner for their fellow
Americans in Paris, France.
In 1779, July 4 fell on a Sunday. The holiday was
celebrated on Monday July 5.
In 1781, Massachusetts was the first legislature
to recognize the Fourth of July.
In 1783, Moravians in Salem, North Carolina held
the first celebration of the Fourth of July in the
country with a challenging music program assembled
by Johann Friedrich Peter. This work was titled
the Psalm of Joy.
In 1791, First recorded under "Independence Day"
name.
In 1870, the U.S. Congress made Independence Day a
holiday, albeit unpaid, for federal employees [1]
In 1941, the U.S. Congress made Independence Day a
federal paid holiday.
[edit] Toasts
It is often customary to deliver a toast or a
short speech at a 4th of July celebration.

Family Party Toast
Today, on the Fourth of July, let us remember
Roosevelt's Four Freedoms of this country, and the
entire world.
First, there's freedom of speech and expression.
To say what is on our minds. To shout, if we want
to.
Next, is freedom of every person to worship in his
own way. Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim,
Buddhist and on and on...
Third, is freedom from want. We all deserve food,
clothing and shelter. Let us pray for the world.
Finally, there's freedom from fear. We should be
free from terrorism and war. This is our goal, our
mission.
Happy Independence Day, everyone.
Kid's Toast
We all know what day it is. It's the Fourth of
July, the day the Declaration of Independence was
signed in 1776.
The people who signed it were doctors and lawyers
and farmers, but they were really just like you
and me.
They were uncertain about the future sometimes,
and they got tired and hungry. They were leaders.
The founders of our country.
On this Fourth of July day, let's think about
these important men. Let us silently thank them
for helping to build our nation.
And let us remember the ladies who stood by them.
They helped too.
Happy Fourth of July!

[edit] Customs
Originally entitled Yankee Doodle, this is one of
several versions of a scene painted by A. M.
Willard that came to be known as The Spirit of
'76. Often imitated (or parodied), it is a
familiar symbol of American
patriotism.Independence Day, the only holiday that
celebrates the United States, is a national
holiday marked by patriotic displays. Similar to
other summer-themed events, Fourth of July
celebrations often take place outdoors.
Independence Day is a federal holiday, so all
non-essential federal institutions (like the
postal service and federal courts) are closed on
that day. Many politicians make it a point on this
day to appear at a public event to praise the
nation's heritage, society and people. Speeches
and editorials may invoke American Revolutionary
themes such as the founding fathers (including
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and
George Washington), the Constitution, the Liberty
Bell, and democratic principles such as liberty,
freedom, equality under the law, inalienable
rights, and representative government.
Families often mark the Fourth of July with a
picnic or barbecue, and take advantage of the long
weekend or off-day to gather with relatives.
Decorations (e.g., streamers, balloons, and
clothing) generally are colored red, white, and
blue due to the colors of the American Flag.
Because Independence Day is in the summer, bathing
suits have once in a while been given the American
flag design. Parades are often held in the
morning, baseball games played (July 4th being
nearly halfway into the baseball season), and
fireworks displays in public parks in the evening.
Other traditions include face painting for
children and tossing of a football or frisbee.
[edit] Fireworks
Independence Day fireworks are often accompanied
by a pops orchestra playing patriotic songs such
as "The Star-Spangled Banner", "God Bless
America", "America the Beautiful", "My Country,
Tis of Thee", "This Land Is Your Land", "Stars and
Stripes Forever", and, regionally, "Yankee Doodle"
in northeastern states and "Dixie" in southern
states. Some of the lyrics recall images of the
Revolutionary War or the War of 1812. While the
"1812 Overture" refers to Russia's defeat of
Napoleon, it has been traditionally used by the
Boston Pops and broadcast nationwide on PBS, so
many Americans also associate this musical work
with the July 4th fireworks.
"The Star-Spangled Banner", the USA's national
anthem, commemorates the United States flag that
was visible by the light of the rockets' red
glare, the bombs bursting in air. This view of the
flag through a night of bomb bursts inspired the
captive Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812,
and provided hope for the United States as it
defended Fort McHenry.
Music for the Fourth has been largely traditional,
as noted above, evoking themes of patriotism. Some
contemporary compositions are titled so as to lead
the listener to think the song's theme is
patriotic, when it is not. "Happy Birthday
America" by "Randy T." of Baton Rouge, Louisiana
is a song that does seem to directly address the
Fourth of July holiday as a celebration of a
progressive nature.
Firework shows are held in many states, and many
fireworks are sold for personal use or as an
alternative to a public show. Safety concerns have
led some states to ban fireworks or limit the
sizes and types allowed. Illicit traffic transfers
many firecrackers from less restrictive states,
showing that the American people have nevertheless
found a way to celebrate "with pomp and parade,
with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires,
and illuminations."
Most fireworks shows in the United States end in
an intense finale, with a volley of fireworks
rapidly launched almost simultaneously. Major
displays are held in New York and Boston harbors
and on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario also host
one of the largest fireworks displays in the world
over the Detroit River each year to celebrate both
American Independence Day and Canada Day during
the Windsor-Detroit International Freedom
Festival.
[edit] Picnics and barbecues
Outdoor barbecues and picnics are easy to prepare
for the large number of people that often gather
on the Fourth of July. Barbecues generally involve
hamburgers and hot dogs.

Peregrine Falcons In Providence Rhode Island
There are 95 known nesting pairs of peregrine
falcons in New England.The nest in Providence has
produced 22 nestlings since the female, called
Shadow, laid her first clutch of eggs in 2000.

http://www.projo.com/news/content/Peregrine_falcon
_banding_05-10-08_5SA3EVO_v28.3732469.html
The name "peregrine" means wanderer, and the
Peregrine Falcon has one of the longest migrations
of any North American bird. Tundra-nesting falcons
winter in South America, and may move 25,000 km
(15,500 mi) in a year. Maps of the migration of
individual falcons determined by satellite
telemetry can be seen at Environment Canada.
People have trained falcons for hunting for over a
thousand years, and the Peregrine Falcon was
always one of the most prized birds. Efforts to
breed the Peregrine in captivity and reestablish
populations depleted during the DDT years were
greatly assisted by the existence of methods of
handling captive falcons developed by falconers.
The Peregrine Falcon is a very fast flier,
averaging 40-55 km/h (25-34 mph) in traveling
flight, and reaching speeds up to 112 km/h (69
mph) in direct pursuit of prey. During its
spectacular hunting stoop from heights of over 1
km (0.62 mi), the peregrine may reach speeds of
320 km/h (200 mph) as it drops toward its prey.
The Peregrine Falcon is one of the most widespread
birds in the world. It is found on all continents
except Antarctica, and on many oceanic islands.
