Happy Fourth of July!

I live in US almost for a year now, but none of the holidays I experienced here is that big as the Independence day. It's surprising for me, and it's beautiful. Usually national holidays are just long weekends for most of the people. But the 4th of July is really celebrated.
I admire people who value so much what they have, even if they didn't experience something else.
And I'm very grateful I have a chance to live in this great free country =)
