Americans from sea to shining sea united for a joyous celebration 250 years in the making as the Land of the Free marked a quarter-millennium of independence — and the birth of the once-radical notion to guarantee each and every inhabitant life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. President Trump kicked off America’s 250th birthday party Friday with a visit to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota as a prelude to his “Salute to America” bash in the nation’s capital. Supersonic jets are set to scream across the skies over Washington throughout the afternoon and evening Saturday, culminating with flyovers by Trump’s new Air Force One and a B-1 stealth bomber, scheduled for just after the president speaks, followed by a world record-smashing fireworks spectacle.
