George M. Cohan, born July 4, 1878, found his own way to celebrate Independence Day. In 1906 he wrote the popular, patriotic song, “You’re a Grand Old Flag,” followed by the well-known “Yankee Doodle Dandy” in 1908. Cohan was also an actor, producer, and playwright. "Over There” and “Give My Regards to Broadway” were others of his hits. In J Hannibal, Missouri, July 4is Tom Sawyer Fence Painting Day. So, write a letter, sing a A HsttSl song or two, then paint the fence. You're a grand old flag, You 're a high-flying flag, And forever in peace may you wave. . .
