4th of July

And most exciting of all, we have the 4th of July, which is a quintessential summer holiday filled with nothing but swimming, grilling and soaking in that sweet ...

So when you are celebrating the 4th of July this year, just know that you can most likely grab your favorite pick-me-up drink for a little boost as you carry out your day with all the festivities. We are talking watching fireworks, going to see your local 4th of July parade or even throwing a party in your own backyard. Regardless of where you are heading or how you celebrate this holiday, one thing is for sure, and that is the heat!

Although this was more than 25 years ago, I can still recall being disproportionately moved by the Lee Greenwood song, God Bless the USA – a staple of July 4th ...

Meanwhile, it certainly helps the imperial image when the US military slaughter of civilians abroad can – as in Iraq – be cast as a noble effort to spread that “special” freedom that we Americans “at least” know we possess. Nor are children in the US free to go to school without having to worry about being mown down by a semi-automatic weapon or other lethal device. Hansen was 13 at the time, and recalls “becoming teary-eyed” on the bus as she “remembered the MTV video of the song” while singing it – with the recollection of visual stimuli of course only adding to the patriotic sensationalism of the moment. But just how “free” are Americans, at the end of the day? One year, when I was 12 or 13 and living in the Texas capital of Austin, my family and I attended a massive Independence Day gathering by the river, complete with deafening music and fireworks that permanently traumatised our dog Bounder. As Mark Twain reportedly said: “God created war so that Americans would learn geography.”

And if there isn’t a Target near where you live, we are also sharing other stores that will open on the 4th of July for those last-minute grabs. The 4thof July means endless outdoor activities to enjoy in the warm weather, like attending the annual parade, going on a camping trip, watching 4th of July fireworks or making a splash at the pool.

Highland Park police say 19 people were taken to hospitals and authorities are still searching for the suspect. Gunfire at a Fourth of July parade in ...

A children’s bike and pet parade also was scheduled to start 30 minutes before the main parade. My condolences to the family and loved ones; my prayers for the injured and for my community; and my commitment to do everything I can to make our children, our towns, our nation safer. Miles Zaremski, a Highland Park resident, told the Chicago Sun-Times: “I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. My team and I are safe and secure.” The parade was suddenly halted 10 minutes after it started later after shots were fired. It was unclear if the five dead were among the 19 hospitalized.
