The links below will provide some background on the true nature of that day in 1776.

Yes, a wikipedia link...there is a description of observance traditions if you scroll down...

And there is also a very sweet description of a Fourth of July celebration in the Laura Ingalls Wilder book, Little Town on the Prairie.

The Lord works in His time, and His ways are not our ways...May His Love and blessing be with you and may you see His Hand in all things, even those that are not the most desirous of events.
He has a purpose for His work, and is ultimately for our betterment:)
