Mat Male, 18-29 Europe Joined: 9 yrs, 2 mos ago 9,643 Posts	11 months ago - Friday 6/22/12 - 11:51:58 PM EST (GMT-5) quote message You'd need an orchestra playing the 1812 Overture with live cannons, for starters. It's not a party without some Tchaikovsky.

How about a BBQ and random cannon fire.

It's not a party without some Tchaikovsky. Cannon. The plural of cannon is cannon. Other than that, splendid idea.

I get the'tiny part in American history' thing but unless you're suggesting to forget aboiut your war of independece too I don't see what the '200 years ago' thing is about. Even your civil war was almost 150 years ago ...

DaveW Male, 30-39 Europe Joined: 8 yrs ago 25,566 Posts	11 months ago - Sunday 6/24/12 - 12:51:19 PM EST (GMT-5) quote message Cannon. Cannon. Cannon! FFS!

geekee Male, 13-17 Southern US Joined: 1 yr, 1 mos ago 4,985 Posts	11 months ago - Monday 6/25/12 - 11:52:15 PM EST (GMT-5) quote message @Matthias - What I meant was that the war of 1812 was a long time ago and not significant enough for us to celebrate for 200 years. Wars like our revolutionary war and civil war are much bigger and more important wars and should be remembered forever.
