It is pretty safe to say the same traditions are shared across the United States when it comes celebrating the 4th of July. From a day in the sun, to a cook out with sizzling burgers and hot dogs on the grill, ended by everyone gathering under a star lit sky to take in the spectacular fireworks, whispering “Ooh” and “Ahh” over the display before them.
