Independence Day (United States)

Question

Independence Day (United States)

Since there are so many people on this site that from all over the world, I thought I would post this about our National Holiday. In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the National Day of the United States.

I can't do bright colours or flashing pictures in a post, so you'll have to settle for a sincere wish for a joyful celebration today.

Thanks Font, it is the thought that counts. - Yeser007, Jul 4, 2010

Answer 3

I get into this holiday stuff, in fact I found a picture of the shirt I will be wearing today. The wife bought it and I proudly wear it!

And I would like to sneak in a note that since joining SD I am a lot more aware that with North, Central, and South America, there are a lot more "Americans" than just those living in the EEUU and I extend a wish that someday all could enjoy the same freedoms we have here.

I thought I credited "Reyn Spooner" for the shirt. - LateToDinner, Jul 4, 2010

Happy Independence Day!

So this is why you asked me "Qué vas a hacer para la fiesta mañana" last night Marianne. You had me so confused because England don't celebrate the fourth of July lol.

Well, we sort of have your country to thank for our holiday today.(;'-) - Rolest, Jul 4, 2010

I'm surprised they don't celebrate the fourth. You would think they might be happy to be rid of us.:) - Yeser007, Jul 4, 2010
