July 4th became a federal holiday in the U.S. in 1870.
Since then, Independence Day has remained an important symbol of patriotism for America, as well as a national holiday.
Because the Fourth of July falls during the summer, many people celebrate with outdoor barbecues and fireworks. Don’t forget to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner, which is the United States national anthem.
My family and I will get together for a barbecue, complete with hamburgs, hot dogs, salt potatoes and maybe a pineapple. LOL!

Have you picked up your copy of Oh Danny Boy? Enjoy the holiday and be transported to Ireland! Happy Reading!
Very interesting! Happy July 4!
