Americans celebrate their Independence Day on July 4 every year. There are many things that make this day special, but I'll list three that come to mind.
1. Remembering the importance of this country
In spite of its many imperfections, there are great reasons for Americans to be proud of this country. It still is the land of opportunity for those who call it home. Although it has not always lived up to this standard, the idea that all "men (and women) are created equal", and that we have "the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", is an ideal we should strive for.
2. Being outdoors
Taking place in the middle of summer, this holiday is a great time for a picnic or any outdoor activity. Of course, people always must be wary of storms which affected the fourth of July in some places this year.
3. Fireworks
Fireworks brighten up the night like nothing else and are fun for adults and children alike to behold.
This year, I went to Wilson Farm Park in Chesterbrook, PA for their annual firework show.
