You likely refer to it as the 4th of July Independece Day celebration but, i prefer to call it what really is.
Wake up, your as free as veal!

We had a lovely celebration, thank you for asking! My daughter rode in a wagon that my wife decorated with bunting and pinwheels and flags, and had a great time waving to all the happy people lining the parade route in our little town. There were elephants and camels (really!) and sparklers and fireworks. It was a wonderful patriotic day for everyone.
Hope yours was nice as well. Best wishes and God bless.

If you don't like the holidays in the United States, the reasons for them and the freedoms that they have given us then don't recognize them but do not criticize them that do. If this is to much of a problem for you then you have the freedom to move to another country that do not celebrate these holidays.

Ours was SPECTACULARLY BOOMING!!! We dressed up and went out for dinner... We live in Oahu, Hawaii... so.. we caught the fireworks at Schofield Barracks Army Post... then we saw the Pearl Harbor fireworks as we drove to Hickam Airforce Base for their fireworks show (we sat on the hood of the car for that one) They were firing them from 50ft away and my son kept looking back cause the boom felt like it was coming from behind us... so, then, on our way to the Marine Corps base in Kaneohe for their late show, we caught the fireworks off Honolulu... It was great cause we drove in a convertible. So,that's five shows... but we saw plenty more in between drives... It was the first time my son had seen fireworks and the look and smile on his face was so beautiful and captured the exact reason that I am proud that my husband is a soldier and also why I decided to become an American citizen. Don't get me wrong, I love my Mexico, but I also love America just as much!!! On our way home we turned on the radio, which was playing patriotic songs all night long!!! To top it off, we stayed up til midnight to watch the "Star Spangled Banner" play on TV before the channels go off air. It was the best night we had together as a family... since my husband is redeploying to Iraq in a few weeks... we won't get to do this for another 2 years... My son loves him and always recognizes him cause he's always in uniform. When we go on post, he calls every soldier "Da-Da" cause they all wear the same uniform... he gets confused. It's so cute... I hope when he growsup he can be proud of his Dad and be as patriotic as we are so that he can pass his love of freedom to our and his grandchildren...
