About time we make the switch from July 4 to Independence Day and give it a three day holiday like the name deserves.

“The National Park Service is diverting nearly $2.5 million in entrance and recreation fees primarily intended to improve parks across the country to cover costs associated with President Trump’s Independence Day celebration Thursday”
