When do we celebrate Independence Day?

Independence Day is celebrated on July 4th in the United States. This date marks the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, when the thirteen American colonies declared their independence from British rule. The day is commemorated with various festivities, including fireworks, parades, barbecues, and other patriotic displays. It is a federal holiday, reflecting its significance in American history as a symbol of freedom and national pride.

The other dates mentioned have different national significance: June 14 is celebrated as Flag Day, which honors the adoption of the United States flag; September 11 is observed for the tragic events of 2001 and the lives lost on that day; and November 11 is Veterans Day, a day to honor military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Each of these dates has its own importance, but they do not relate to the commemoration of American independence as July 4th does.
