The Fourth of July ~ Is it one of your favorite holidays? Do you celebrate in a big way, and what does it mean to you?

The 'Birthday of America' is very special, and may we all realize just how significant the holiday of The Fourth of July is, for the country.

Do you have favorite Independence Day memories, like going to parades and picnics? Or, do you celebrate in a more official way?

Here is a video, regarding an overview of the holiday.. which is, by the way, typically a very hot day (of course); hence: 'hotter than the fourth of July' ~

Also, Pat Benatar and Martina McBride really rocked the song shared below.. and I hope that you get to feel their amazing energy, as they perform on CMT Cross Roads "Independence Day" in the video below ~
