Today in the United States (and other parts of the globe with a lot of Americans/hate for the British*), we celebrate the 4th of July. For our international visitors, the 4th of July is, to put it in 2016 terms, the first and most successful Brexit.
It is also the only time of year (outside of Christmas) where a Boilermaker is allowed to wear the color red (but I prefer white and blue on this day).
What ever you do with this day, spend it with your family and friends, have fun, and be thankful. We all have our complaints about this country and its issues, but for today we can be thankful that we live in such a great country.
