The month of July’s only national holiday is American Independence Day. This should be one of the most important celebrations in our country, but many people are more interested in the chance to party than understanding why we celebrate this day. Even consistently calling it the Fourth of July instead of Independence Day lessens the holiday’s true significance. It’s a beautiful reminder of what Independence Day really means to see classic films which depict its celebration, not just on the fourth but throughout the month of July.
