Happy Birth Day America!

"Borrowed" part of a list from an online site (not citing it because it wasn't current, current...so some of the dates were a tad out-of-range. Don't want to blame them in case my own 'reconfigurings' turn out to be iffy).

HOW OLD IS AMERICA...

200 Million Years Old: The Formation of Continent

15,000-40,000 Years Old: The Arrival of the Native Americans

529 Years Old: The Arrival of Christopher Columbus

436 Years Old: The First Settlement

414 Years Old:The First SUCCESSFUL Settlement

245 Years Old: Declaration of Independence was ratified by the US Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.

However you measure...however you celebrate...Have A Happy!
