Independence Day

Independence Day, celebrated on July 4th, is a significant national holiday in the United States. It commemorates the country's Declaration of Independence from British rule in 1776. On this day, the thirteen American colonies declared their independence, marking the birth of the United States of America. Independence Day is commonly associated with patriotic displays, including parades, fireworks, barbecues, concerts, and various public and private events. People often adorn themselves and their surroundings with the American flag's red, white, and blue colors. It is a time for Americans to come together, celebrate their nation's history, and reflect on the values of freedom, democracy, and unity that the country stands for. Fireworks displays, in particular, are a hallmark of Independence Day celebrations and light up the skies across the nation.
