Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays. It is a celebration of a day where a bunch of people got together and decided to do what they thought was morally right even though a lot of people disagreed with them.

Regardless of their personal choices and the US's history as a nation since then, the Fourth of July is still a day to celebrate courage and determination. Not military courage, we have Memorial Day and Veteran's Day for those, but just strength of individuals.

also I love fireworks and cook outs!
