Fourth of July commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. More info at wiki.
To add some mood into our home, we bought a Pepperridge Farm 3-layer cake that comes in the colors of the US flag - Red, White, and Blue.
Taken from USFlag.org:
"The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice."
