The 4th of July is a holiday that many Americans look forward to. The celebration of the nation’s independence is something that Americans rally around and acknowledge, especially on July 4th.
Independence Day is here. Across the nation, people will be spending time with loved ones, attending barbeques, and otherwise going out. Some Americans will attend fireworks shows and go to the beaches, while others celebrate the 4th in different ways.
