July 4th is Independence today in America, and many families celebrate with outdoor events, such as a picnic or a barbecue. Firework shows will be held in many states, often accompanied by the national anthem.

Did you know a “salute to the union,” a salute for each state, is fired at noon by any capable military base?

Whether you wear red, white, and blue, the colors of the American flag, or enjoy a relaxing day at home, Happy 4th of July!
