Today is Independence Day!! It is a national holiday in the U.S.A. and is celebrated every year on the Fourth of July.
If it falls on a weekend, then the previous Friday or following Monday will be a holiday.
On July 4, 1776, the United States of America proclaimed its independence from England by signing the Declaration of Independence. While the signing of the Declaration itself was not completed until August, the Fourth of July holiday is seen as the official anniversary of U.S. independence.
Celebrations include parades, barbecues, picnics and fireworks throughout the country and the estimated number of hot dogs eaten by Americans on the Fourth of July is 150 million!!!
As this is a Federal holiday, not only will schools and libraries be closed, most federal and state offices will also be closed and there will be no mail deliveries on Independence Day.
Citizens of the U.S.A., have a wonderful 4th of July holiday!! :) :)
