It’s the 4th of July! Independence Day! The 250th birthday of America! Here to help you celebrate are some vintage postcards from Independence Days past! Here’s hoping that everyone has a safe and wonderful 4th of July holiday!
It wasn’t difficult to pick today’s song of the day. Here is the National Anthem, performed by the class of 2012 at my old high school. They did a great job!
4 Or More Shots From 4 Or More Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!
Today, for America’s birthday, I want to celebrate America’s game!
4 Shots From 4 Films
The Natural (1984, Dir. by Barry Levinson)
Major League (1989, Dir. by David Ward)
Eight Men Out (Dir. by John Sayles)
Eephus (2024, Dir. by Carson Lund)
A Boy Named Charlie Brown was the first Peanuts movie. It was released in 1969 and, in this scene, Snoopy gets the Little League season off to the right start with the national anthem.
I hope everyone’s having a great 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July from the Shattered Lens!
I love Independence Day. I love spending time with my family. I love watching the fireworks. I even love listening to the same patriotic songs year after year. This year, the holiday is even more special because it is America’s 250th birthday!
I know that it’s fashionable to get down on America. I don’t care. Even when times are tough, there is no greater country than America. There is no greater idea than America. I consider myself blessed every day to be a citizen of this country. And that’s why I’ll be celebrating all day today.
Happy birthday, America! And here’s to the next 250 years!

For most of the country, it already is 4th of July and America is already celebrating it’s 250th birthday. However, on the West Coat, there’s still another hour to go.
In order to welcome the Pacific Time Zone to Independence Day, here’s David Hasselhoff!
Tear down that wall!
