The '''Fourth of July''' is the annual [[celebration]] of the Independence of the [[United States]] from [[Great Britain]].
Everyone whose work is not vital (like such as nurses and police) takes a day or two off work, and people enjoy the [[summer]] weather with cookouts, get-togethers, and, at night, displays of [[fireworks]] and [[bonfire]]s. Most towns hold parades, as well as usually sponsoring safe fireworks shows. Some people hold re-enactments of [[Revolutionary War]] era events.
The [[American flag|Flag]] and symbols of it are in evidence everywhere, in this annual outpouring of [[patriotism]].
