Independence Day 1925 and Defense Day plans ahead
The piece surveys 1925 as the sesquicentennial of the Revolution and 1926 for the Declaration, linking Independence Day to a proposed Defense Day. It covers the Sesquicentennial Commission, Philadelphia expositions, and Coolidge's stance on national defense, Armistice Day, and war-era demonstrations, with hints of broader national celebration and civic unity.
