In the 70's I was a boyscout and was selected to recite the address from memory from the stage of the town hall on July 4th.

I remember I had one index card to prompt me on the one part I was having trouble remembering, but I ended up not needing it.

That was almost 50 years ago, and I can still recite most of it from memory.

Same. Only I memorized it to get a free beer at a bar offering a freebie to anyone who could recite it.
