America is about to embark on its most ambitious anniversary celebration ever. The upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence promises to dwarf the bicentennial celebrations of 1976, with hundreds of organizations coordinating thousands of events nationwide in what David Barton calls an "orchestrated, spontaneous, grassroots movement."

Kimberly Fletcher of Moms for America joins us to unveil her organization's spectacular contribution to this historic milestone: a 50-state, 50-week tour covering 250,000 miles across America. This isn't just another historical commemoration—it's bringing the celebration directly to communities that might never have the opportunity to visit major historical sites.

The America 250 Tour features "Patriot Village," a traveling experience complete with five semi-trucks, five RVs, and multiple vehicles creating a county fair atmosphere dedicated to American history. At its heart stands America's Wall of Honor, a breathtaking 60-foot monument honoring military and first responders that comes alive with light, sound, and pyrotechnics during special presentations. The tour will focus on communities under 250,000 population while remaining accessible to larger metropolitan areas, ensuring maximum participation.

What makes this celebration truly special is its grassroots nature. Unlike the 1976 bicentennial, which was primarily government-directed, the 250th anniversary emerges from a nationwide groundswell of patriotic energy. The tour will highlight 26 flagship locations chosen for their significance to American history—from Florida's Space Coast to Hollywood's film industry to the engineering marvel of Hoover Dam—each telling a unique chapter of America's story through concerts, reenactments, and immersive experiences.

For those who can't attend in person, virtual participation opportunities include a national "Where's Liberty" photo contest connecting Americans across the country. The celebration kicks off December 31st in Huntington Beach, California, and will continue through July 4, 2027, providing ample opportunity for every American to connect with our founding principles and shared heritage.
