Happy Fourth!!

The Fourth of July is a day when family and friends can gather and celebrate together. Okay we all celebrate it but do we actually know what the meaning is? The Fourth of July is a holiday of course but it is also Independence Day. But it's not just a ordinary holiday it's a federal holiday in the United States of America; commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. It is a day where people cherish everything that America stands for. But If you ask someone, many would probably say that the meaning change over time. The 4th of July has become nothing more than another commercial holiday: another excuse to get drunk, eat junk food, and escape the grind of the workforce for one measly day. Having good knowledge is such a good thing; Knowing your history is another. It's good to learn your history and to know what you are celebrating. Happy Fourth Everyone!
