Just for the record, this holiday is NOT to celebrate kicking British butt. It's to celebrate the day that our founders announced that they had had enough of the British overlords imposing unfair requirements, encumberances, and other restrictions on the citizens in its colonies here which were not imposed on citizens living in England. Had King George III been a bit more sensitive and understanding to the plight of his otherwise faithful and compliant colonies, perhaps there would have been no need or enough popular support to necessitate a Declaration of Independence. Our Fathers were not 'kicking butt' on England' they were simply tired of having our butts kicked by England.
