When July arrives, then so has summer. Summer is when kids have fun, lie down under the night sky, and find their inner selves, and adults long to return to those times when they could find time to enjoy and have fun.

After all, for many years, July meant: long, hot days where the sun stayed up late, celebrating the Fourth of July with barbeques and fireworks, swimming, bike riding, and playing outside. The 4th of July is not just about grilling out, day drinking, watching fireworks, or going on vacation. It is a time when Americans come together to celebrate our country’s birth, independence, and freedom. Independence Day represents so much about the American story: freedom, bravery, and patriotism.
