There are lots of emotions that go with the Fourth of July.

No other date on the calendar more potently symbolizes all that our nation stands for than the Fourth of July.

May it be long before the people of the United States shall cease to take a deep and pervading interest in the Fourth of July, as the birthday of our national life, or the event which then occurred shall be subordinated to any other of our national history.

The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.

Fourth of July. My birthday is July first, and my best friend's birthday is July fifth, so it's always been a favorite holiday. It's all about having a cooler full of sodas, hot dogs, and just hanging out and shooting off firecrackers, being low-key, watching the fireworks.

So May 4th in the labor movement has always been an important date.

We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me. It's the day I was born. My mother's birthday, and a lot of my friends' birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date.

When I was little I thought, isn't it nice that everybody celebrates on my birthday? Because it's July 4th.

I mean I look forward to the day when I can be Republican again.

What to the Slave is the 4th of July.
