Just a friendly suggestion. The Fourth of July in my mind is too much of a genericized term, like Cinco de Mayo. A better term might be "Independence Day" to denote the significance of the holiday and its importance.
I hear from younger kids that they will celebrate these holidays, i.e. Memorial, Independence, Veterans, by going on vacations, warming up the barbecue but they most always forget why we take time off.

I'm sure there will be some that say we should cancel or rename this day of remembrance because they are offended.

They deleted the tweet, but not before it was captured and reposted by Turning Point Action's Tyler Bowyer. Pima County is the home to Democrat Senator Mark Kelly.

In recognition of the sacrifices of our founders and those that took up arms and fought for the common goal of freedom from the crown, happy Independence Day, everyone!

Was at super 1 today buying some groceries and the checkout bagger kid said happy fourth. I smiled and said happy independence day. For a brief moment I think I saw some wheels turn and lights flicker.
Remember today was brought to you by angry colonists killing British soldiers and risking everything to found a new nation.

Yep. Every time I hear “Happy 4th…” I say: “Did you mean Independence Day?”.
