On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the "land of the free and the home of the brave" so they can begin their American Dream.
The United States is truly a diverse nation made up of dynamic people. Each year on July 4, Americans celebrate that freedom and independence with barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings. Through the Internet we are learning about and communicating with people of different nations, with different languages and different races throughout the world. Bringing the world closer with understanding and knowledge can only benefit all nations.
We invite all nations to celebrate with Americans online this Fourth of July.
Happy Birthday, America!

I believe it is a victory celebration and the fireworks and noise imitate sounds that took place during Battle. The words in the national anthem partly says and "the rockets red blare the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there".

Fireworks symbolize war, and the Declaration of Independance was a prelude to the most important war in our history, so their in memorial of the Revolution.

"And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there." It represents the war for our freedom.

I believe it's to signify how the bombs and fighting lit up the night during the war..."the bombs bursting in air...gave proof to the night, that our flag was still there...".
The fireworks are supposed to be that...
