PORTAGE, Mich. — America is celebrating it's 250th birthday this July 4th, and kids 1/25 the age of the country are getting on board by making birthday cards.
FOX 17 neighborhood reporter Julie Dunmire stopped by Central Elementary in Portage, and met a dozen students eager to share their ideas for their card. Many featured lyrics of the National Anthem, red, white, and blue— and eagles.
