Independence Day (Fourth of July) commemorates the Declaration of Independence of the United States on July 4, 1776. The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen colonies were no longer subject to the monarch of Britian and were now free and independent states. Today, in preparation for Independence Day and a summer of celebrations, be conscious of firework safety. Enjoy the day/week, which is known for fireworks, pools, beaches, tasty BBQ, and just plain rest and relaxation! Happy Fourth!
