As a child, we would get up and go watch the 4th of July Parade. It had all sorts of politicians, businesses, churches, cars, bands, military veterans, horses, etc. People in the parade would throw candy and gifts to the children. After the parade, the city (which was built around a large lake) would have various activities such as canoe races, watermelon and pie eating contests and usually some form of entertainment like music or athletics. In the afternoon, families would get together for a cookout lunch that had grilled meats, corn on the cob, pies and various cold salads. In the evening, there would be a location in town where people could go with blankets to lie on the ground and watch fireworks. Also, some churches would have a worship service on that day with quasi-patriotic songs. It was always a fun time.

July 4 is big.. parades in villages and towns. Cookouts. Block parties. And of course fireworks from coast to coast. Around here (in the Washington DC area) local fireworks are done the day before and after the Fourth as the city of Washington puts on an incredible show (like most big cities) and those fireworks attract 100,000s of spectators . But really amyone from any country can celebrate with us- so go enjoy the day.

[@jimmiegiboney2473]

PS: Oh yeah! Unless they were at a gun range, bullets wouldn't be safe as what goes up must come down! So they use blanks! At our local fireworks show, the local "Oklahoma Army National Guard" unit participates with the fireworks crew. They fire blanks that send huge smoke rings over the stadium crowd! People can feel the shock waves! They fire a shot to let people know the show is about to begin. They fire in tune with "The Overture of 1812" too! Then during the grand finale moment, they fire in conjunction with the very big fireworks bursting in air! 🎆🎇 They weren't available though during their war efforts. There wasn't a show during the worst of the pandemic. 😢

[@LisaC.-mebugyou]

Watching the fireworks over the water is gorgeous especially when you have an orchestra playing in the background as the fireworks are going off as we have in Nashville Tn.

One of the largest fireworks stores in the country (supposedly) is Shelton Fireworks. They have a HUGE store right off of I-10 (Eastbound-between Mobile, AL and Pensacola, Florida). It’s actually a chain of stores but during this time of year you can barely get in the door. They have literally tens of thousands of items. The best part? The exit right before them has a Buccees! 😂

[@johnalden5821]

We have the windows open this evening and, yes, it sounds like a small battle is going on in the city. This is just people shooting off their own fireworks. The big city-run displays will be tomorrow night, of course, weather permitting. For us, it is interesting that people do NOT know that we gained our independence from the UK. So did Canada, but MUCH more gradually.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,-That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Just the first part. And yeah it’s long. But it explains a lot.

A fairly good brief explanation of what Independence Day is all about here in America. I strongly encourage "Graham Family Reacts" to react to the reading of the Declaration of Independence by Max McLean. It is, in my opinion one of the most meaningful and eloquent documents ever written, keeping in mind, of course, that I am an American, so clearly biased. For what it's worth, I don't get the hotdog eating contests either, I find them ridiculous and disgusting. I have friends here in America from Slovakia--I'm happy the Prime Minister recovered from the assassination attempt on his life, and was pleased to see how well Slovakia did in the Euro Cup this summer. Cheers.

Poor Jono! Hope he's feeling all better very soon! But it's great to see the rest of you doing a video even if he had to miss out on the fun! And miss out on the upstairs heat. 😛 I knew Leia would be all concerned about the animals dealing with the fireworks, and I know a lot of them really don't enjoy it. A friend of mine owns horses and a few of them have almost gone mad because of the fireworks, kicking at their stalls and breaking boards and injuring themselves (none badly, thank goodness) in their panic. It's just awful. 😞 A couple of friends of mine who served in the Army in Afghanistan and Iraq can't handle the fireworks. One of them wraps scarves around her head to cover her ears and she rocks back and forth while her husband holds her to make it through. The other one goes camping with several of his other military buddies out into the local national park so they can all be far far away from the explosions on the 4th of July. It can be tough. But the time with family and friends is often great. I'm getting together with my Mom and stepdad (he was in the Army) and my sister and her family tomorrow to grill out and enjoy spending time together. Always a good time! Side story: Back when I was married years ago I had a stepson. I was helping his study his history when he was 10, and they had been studying the 1776 Revolutionary War against England. At one point this little smart aleck gave me a look and with a little grin he asked, "Did you fight in that war, or were you too old?" I had to laugh because it was too funny not to. 😛 Kids are great though. 😀

King George was actually not in his right mind when he lost the revolution. He was believed to be bipolar or something similar as his mental state deteriorated over time. George died a raving lunatic at balmoral. But in a brief moment of lucidity he praised Washington for his return to civilian life as a farmer without anything to hold him back. A lot of soldiers who fought literally gave up their guns and went into farming, tilling the soil into the best fertile places on the planet. We like to simply return to life doing something to make future generations happy. Others like Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett explored westward always reporting what they had seen and learned. They fought native Americans and blazed trails across the country that we still have today.
