What Does the Fourth of July Mean to You?
The Fourth of July is by far my favorite holiday. I love the food, the fireworks, and riding my bike down the coast with my closest friends every year. Before leaving for the holiday weekend, we wanted to see what Jeremy, SVP of Content and Editorial, was up to for the Fourth. Watch the video:

And when I got older, into middle school and high school, there were a few rainy Fourth of Julys in a row, and fireworks were banned in city limits but by then the neighborhood had gotten fractured anyway; the big kids had left for college, a few key families had moved away, and I didn't want to hang out with my sisters and parents any more anyway. The rest of the world had friends and boys and adventures.
I've had some great 4ths since then, but none will ever compare to the bike parade.

I remember sitting on the fold down door of the family station wagon, watching the Blue Angels flying overhead. Red snow cone juice rolled down my bare arms and later that day, warmed by the sun, we watched one of the most breathtaking firework displays I have ever seen. Classic rock played by eight track and we drank Coca-Cola in red and white paper cups.
I recall precisely how every man, woman and child stood for the pledge and singing of the national anthem. I was only just a small child, but I was so proud to be an American. For a few moments, the service men and women I knew as neighbors and friends were more than just Uncle Bobby or Miss Wendy, they were heroes. I felt safe. I wish I could transplant my favorite 4th memories into my children's experience. I try.
