As has become our custom, here's John Philip Sousa's rousing "The Stars and Stripes Forever," played by the Band of His Majesty's Grenadier Guards at Blenheim Palace, to honor the founding of our nation on the Fourth of July, 1776. It's hard to imagine some times that while we once fought a bloody war of independence against them, over time we've become the closest of allies. Be safe and enjoy the holiday.
