The Fourth Of July?

   The fourth of July is the most american holiday there is. Everyone around the country is relaxing and watching fireworks on this day. Everyone loves it so much but do they even know why we celebrate it. People now in day don't understand the meaning behind the holiday. Its almost like being Jewish and celebrating Christmas! Fourth of July is the day that the United States gained its independence from Great Britain. The meaning behind the fireworks is that on the last fight of the war the flag still remained standing even though there were so many bombs and other explosives. That is why everyone goes to see fireworks at their local parks when the time comes. I enjoy this holiday myself but I think its sad that not enough people know the meaning behind it. I remember the last time I celebrated fourth of July it was little sad because the adults just got drunk and I even saw numerous American flags on the ground. I think schools should do a better job on teaching children from an early age the meaning of the fourth of July.
