Hey bloggers !
I Wish You All Happy Fourth Of July.
Though m not a US citizen but still would like to share some facts
about the US Independence history, many of you already know about it but i came
across it a couple of days before so i thought lets share it.
The Story of
the Fourth of July
The people
celebrate American Independence Day on the Fourth of July every year. They
think of July 4, 1776 as the day on of the Declaration of
Independence and the birth of the United States of
America . But July 4,
1776 wasn't the day that the Continental Congress decided to declare
independence (they did that on July 2, 1776).
It wasn't
the day American Revolution started either (that had happened back in
April 1775). And it wasn't the day the first draft of the Declaration of
Independence (that was in June 1776) was written.
Actually,
Actually,
The Continental
Congress approved the final wording of the Declaration of Independence on July
4, 1776. They'd been working on it for a couple of days after the draft was
submitted on July 2nd and finally agreed on 4th of July, thus celebrating the American
Independence Day on the Fourth of July.
Customs and
Celebration
Independence Day is a national holiday marked by
patriotic displays. Independence Day celebrations often take place outdoors.
It’s a federal holiday, so all non-essential federal institutions (like
the postal service and federal courts) are closed on that day.
Many politicians make it a point on this day to appear at a public event to
praise the nation's heritage, laws, history, society, and people.
Families often celebrate Independence Day by hosting or attending
a picnic or barbecue and take advantage of the day off and a long weekend to
gather with relatives. Decorations (e.g., streamers, balloons, and clothing)
are generally colored red, white, and blue, the colors of the American
flag. Parades are often in the morning, while fireworks displays occur in the
evening at such places as parks, fairgrounds, or town squares
Fireworks
The most important and definitely the most enjoyable time of this
day is the night when the sky is filled with bright lights and different colors
of Fireworks. People of different ages
whether old, young or kids gather together in open grounds and public places to
enjoy the Fireworks.
I wasn't there at the time of Fireworks, but i really wish to, and here are some spectacular views of United Nations Independence Day 2013 Fireworks photos.
