How Do You Celebrate Your Independence Day?

Well if you remember, we have bbq's and parades, fireworks, and do all kinds of stuff. In my town, there is always a firework display that isn't too big, but not too small either. I don't like the sound of the fireworks, so a lot of the time, I will just watch them from our house, or somewhere further away, and they are pretty that way. Lol
We have turned it into an family affair when this day comes around, and that is a nice thing to have, family. We remember all the people that got together to make our countries constitution, and helped to make our country what it is today. I am glad our forefathers did that for us. ^_^ This is the first flag that we had, it is called the Betsy Ross Flag.

Hi, first of all sorry for late reply because I was not Home.. Well I celebrate Independence day By praying to God for my country.

I was once an Animal, and never want to see that man again! So I Cowboyed deep in the woods to be away from people until I could control myself once again! So they Celebrate what others and I did on this day and I get off by myself so I want HURT THEM!

I celeberate the independence day flying flags on the roofs of our houses, use candles at roof borders at night, give charity to the poor, pray for the dignity and prosperity of the country and nation. We also do self purgation, self assessment, taking stock of ourselves and decided our new personal resolutions and priorities for the activities of the coming year.

In England we do not have an Independence day as such.  We do celebrate Guy Fawkes day which commemorates the foiling of an assassination plot against king and Parliament hundreds of years ago.  This takes place on November 5th and we celebrate with fireworks and bonfires on which we burn effigies of Guy Fawkes, the chap who takes most of the blame for the original "gunpowder plot" in our folk memory.

Now I am in the US, we celebrate Independance day on July 4th with family and friends.  We always make sure the "Stars and Stripes" is flying from our flagpole.  Usually there is a really good civic firework display which we, and practically the whole town go to in the evening..  The very first time I ever celebrated Independance day here was in 2003, the day before Bob and I were married.  We chose that date because it happened to coincide with the family reunion that year.  He always jokes that he celebrated his Independence on one day and gave it up on the next!  He made that joke at our wedding breakfast too, of course.

I spend it with family - we all get together in some form or another. Usually set off my highly illegal fireworks. And make sure I visit local Veterans Memorial monument for a moment of silence and thanks. You'd have to be a combat veteran to understand why.

Hi, we celebrate our INDEPENDENCE DAY with full of joy, proud and patriotism. Early in the morning all the people of our colony collect in a place and make a march with flags of GREAT INDIA and sing patriotic songs.but only one thing i feel that day bad that INDIA divide into parts. We promise to myself that one day we get it back after killed all the terrorist who fight against India.

I do'nt celebrate Independence day, mere bhai. Kyon Ki (Becoz) I believe independence means, everybody living in peace in Harmony, But both our countries status are not like that. But i am sorry to say that I donot celebrate.
Of course here too he hoist our Indian Tricolour, but this generation does'nt know the true meaning of Freedom.
