Answer 1

In the United States, Independence Day (commonly known as "the Fourth of July" or simply "the Fourth") is a federal holiday celebrating 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 parades, barbecues, picnics, baseball games, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the U.S. Fireworks have been associated with the Fourth of July since 1777.

Answer 2

I hope you do have a real concern and YOU'RE not stereotype...


Fireworks is associated with 4th of July (celebration of Independence and freedom) and Memorial Day (Honing our War Deceased and War Veterans ) both commonly associated with parades, barbecues, family picnics, for some a day off to reflect or be with family and enjoy public fireworks display. Independence Day is a celebration of freedom, as a Mexican residing in the USA in which you should not take lightly and come to appreciate our country for the opportunity perhaps provide you a better living condition and/or work/income to support you and yours. I hope you well in understanding where you at and the various history of our country but not forgetting where you came from; appreciate you and your country but appreciate the country that makes all your dreams and hope come a reality.

Hopefully, as you noticed the many gringos just caring about noise-firecrackers take a moment out and just think of you; how it make you feel to be free and one day you'll have your own self-declaration that it will be sparks of freedom not noise; the sparks of freedom will go off inside of you whereas will hold the same meaning as we celebrate the sparks of freedom that goes off inside of me and others when we think of the goodness of being free.

Answer 3

Ok. First, Happy Independence Day. Today is about the USA getting their independence from England, so we have our freedom. Second, if you're a citizen of this country you should learn that; we all know what we're celebrating and we can have fireworks if we want to; BECAUSE we are free. Third, lose the term gringo real fast, or people will just refer to you and yours as dumb wetbacks. Do your homework. Also, God Bless America:)

Answer 4

It is hard for many Americans to truly appreciate the 4th simply because we are such a liberated people. Of course the 4th is a cool excuse to throw a party. Otherwise, espeically in recent times--9/11 and later on our invasion of occupation of Iraq, the 4th is a opportunity to be happy about our culture and heritage as a people. Even if you are a first generation American, like myself. Despite what anyone my think about us politically, we are a great people with a rich heritage, and we are happy to be apart of that. good times!

Answer 5

Not just that but spending time with my family, and not firecrackers but large shells and repeaters, what we call "cakes." Seeing the Spaceshuttle fly today was a real high point and I felt proud of the work so many have done to achieve that goal. It reminded me of the positive things our nation can accomplish.

Answer 6

I do beause it is the birthday of our country and the celebration of what it means to be in an American. It gives recongition to our four fathers for creating the declaration of independence, and allowing us just to be ourselves which I believe is a blessing. I praise all the men and women who have fought for our country and died for our country because death is a huge sacrifice for strangers that you are never going to meet but that keep you safe, because of the fact that you were born here regardless of your personal opinions regarding freedom and war. I think firecrakers are just a way for americans to celebrate the 4th of July because it is fun and it allows us to show others how blessed we are to live in a country that values its people.

Answer 7

Well, this is just a special and sensitive question, now isn't it? What do you think we should say in response to the blatantly racist wet=back question? Let's choose between the following: A) **** off, you brown-eyed stooge! or, B) If ever I would find you, I WILL KILL YOU! Lol! As a Mexican, you should go the hell back to Costa Rica, OK?!?!

Answer 8

I love the 4th of July. Even if we never did fireworks. It is a great time to think of the great things our nation has accomplished. I do understand where you are coming from. I am sure most Americans do not even know the true name of the holiday. (Independence Day)

Answer 9

The fireworks is just a special extra bonus to show magnitude of how great this day is in respect to our history. For the younger ones it gets them interested in knowing the holiday and for the older ones a day of historical remembrance.

Answer 10

Sounds like your question embodies part of the celebration of the 4th of July - the freedom to be as dumb as you are and ask agitating questions like you did. Way to go with spreading the hate. Happy 4th you moron.
