The days before July fouth become exciting and packed days filled with fun. At night right after dark the fireworks go off from in the distance. The loud booming and screaching of the different fireworks make the world seem like it stopped. The people surrounded watching in awe. The sky lights up like lightning striking an area. The red, white, and blue colors of the U.S. flag are bright with honor. As the final day comes the flags are hung up to honor our country and also to lead the path of the parade. The marching bands play their songs and the floats behind just move along with decorations decorating it. The people come in groups and have fun and the family cooks out and meets with each other. This is the day of our independence.
