"But the Day is past. The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."

Are there really people in the US that don't know that the second of July is the real day of independence?

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

Most people don't know the Resolution was a brief thing before being revised as the Decoration,  so why would they?

It's really just one of those useless bits of trivia that you pick up in a History channel special and forget a week later.
