Independence Day 2013
Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July,
is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of
Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of
Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks,
parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games,
political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private
events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the
United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States
We hope that you are enjoying a wonderful Fourth of July with family and
friends. Across the globe, there are many families that are apart from
loved ones. Those are the men and women of the Armed Forces who are
serving to protect those freedoms that we celebrate today. Let us salute
those men and women who sacrifice so that we can enjoy this holiday.
We'd like to thank
all the military personnel, past and present, for serving their country.
Many of the cruise lines offer military discounts. If you know someone
who has served, make sure they are aware of these discounts - it's the
least we can do for them that have made this day possible.
