Independence Day is a day of family celebrations with picnics and barbecues, showing a great deal of emphasis on the American tradition of political freedom. Activities associated with the day include watermelon or hotdog eating competitions and sporting events, such as baseball games, three-legged races, swimming activities and tug-of-war games.
Many people display the American flag outside their homes or buildings. Many communities arrange fireworks that are often accompanied by patriotic music. The most impressive fireworks are shown on television. Some employees use one or more of their vacation days to create a long weekend so that they can escape the heat at their favorite beach or vacation spot.
Independence Day is a patriotic holiday for celebrating the positive aspects of the United States. Many politicians appear at public events to show their support for the history, heritage and people of their country. Above all, people in the United States express and give thanks for the freedom and liberties fought by the first generation of many of today's Americans. The Statue of Liberty is a national monument that is associated with Independence Day.

Does that mean we can build our own nukes now
(aside. I can see the site where the trident warheads are stored out the kitchen window).
Speaking of nukes, Iran just announced they have exceeded their agreement level of enriched uranium and plan to keep going.
France still wants to trade with Iran despite violations and sanctions.
The UK seized an Iranian oil tanker on it's way to Syria. Good job... Assad shouldn't get that oil, and Iran shouldn't get the Benjamins. Iran's leadership is probably feeling cornered and may do something even stupider then they are already. They may escalate their mischief interfering with crude shipping in the straits of Hormuz.
