On July 4, 1776 the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, claiming freedom from British rule. We fought for that freedom until the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783, but we recognize the day we took a stand as Independence Day.
We celebrate our Independence with parades, fireworks, picnics and cookouts. We celebrate being American: loving our families and friends, being free and appreciating the soldiers that keep us safe.
I just finalized the menu for our July 4th cook out, and thought it would be fun to share it with MBA in the USA™ readers.
Brandon & Grayson July 4th Menu
• Hot dogs
• Hamburgers
• Potato salad
• Deviled eggs
• Corn on the cob
• Doritos
• Watermelon
• Apple pie
The beer will be Yuengling, brewed at the oldest US brewery in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
We’ll hang out with friends, videochat with family, and watch fireworks when the sun goes down. I can’t wait!
Happy July 4th!
