Oh, You. It means nothing more than a paid day off from work and a reason to have a get together for most people. Burgers and hot dogs or sausages on the grill.
I was too tired to stay up and see the fireworks Monday night.
To some folks thats all it means. To me it means more.
A lot of the signers of the Declaration had their lives at risk. Some died, along with their families. Others were imprisoned and such.
It also was my Great Grandads bday. When he died, I wanted red white and blue carnations to put on his grave on his birthday.
Our fireworks were last night. They were great, and from my vantage point, fireworks were let off all over the valley. Was a great sight. I got fairly tipsy, and ate a ton of food lol.
