🇺🇸 Why Do We Celebrate The 4th of July?
For those who may be unfamiliar, the 4th of July is a patriotic holiday in the United States. This holiday pays tribute to the day the USA gained its independence from Great Britain. This is why it's also commonly referred to as "Independence Day."
Typically, we spend the day with friends and family, hanging out by the pool, and barbecuing some delicious grilled chicken, smoked burgers, and hot dogs. The day is wrapped up by a sweet red, white, and blue dessert and enjoying fireworks with family and friends!
