Stay safe with whatever fireworks you interact with for the occasion.

I'd also like to give a shout out and a thank you to the servicemen and -women both Stateside and around the world doing their parts to help make sure that Independence Day continues to hold its meaning for this nation.

In the spirit of the day, I'd also recommend reading the document signed on this day. Wikipedia has a nice transcription of the Declaration here; though if you're feeling a little more adventurous, the image at the top of the page is a high resolution version of the script-written document, itself ^^

So what are everyone's plans for the occasion?
