The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Movie Watching on 4th of July-- Part 3: "Miracle" and "1776"
Continued from my today's Not So Forgotten: War of 1812 blog.
Movies to watch if its too hot or rainy, or too many mosquitoes.
These movies show the American spirit.
"MIRACLE" (2004)
Speaking of that "USA! USA! USA!" chant. This originated from the "Miracle On Ice" Team USA's Olympic hockey win over the Soviet Union in 1980.
This movie is about that event when a group of college hockey players defeated the heavily favored Soviet Army hockey team.
"1776" (1972)
A less expensive experience than the ubiquitous "Hamilton." See the Founding Fathers singing and dancing their way through some of America's earliest days.
