And you thought there was nothing to celebrate. I am celebrating my humans staying home at least one day this week. They have been busy as little beavers going to doctor appointments, the lawyer, art class and what have you. The past three weeks have been a blur to me. My humans in and out and me being DAPed numerous times. Whew! But we heard about the forgotten national celebration on NPR and thought we should begin celebrating this important victory again. Get your fiddle and mash, have a party and listen to the following:
NPR : Remembering the Battle of New Orleans: "Remembering the Battle of New Orleans
Listen to this story...
All Things Considered, January 7, 2005 � This Saturday is the 190th anniversary of the American victory over the British at the Battle at New Orleans. It was the final battle in the War of 1812, one that made Andrew Jackson a national hero. The day was celebrated widely in the years after the battle; but after the Civil War, the holiday became less widely celebrated and is now largely forgotten. NPR's Melissa Block talks to Bob Fulcher, author of 'The Glorious (But Forgotten) Eighth of January' published in the Tennessee Conservationist."
