About Seasonal
On the Fourth of July, 1776, a new nation declared itself to the world — and every summer since, Americans have marked the day with cannon fire and fireworks blazing against a night sky, parade bands stepping down sun-warmed streets, and the Stars and Stripes snapping in the breeze. The bald eagle soars above it all as the young republic's enduring symbol of strength and freedom. From the torch of liberty to the last trailing spark of a bottle rocket, it is a birthday that has always known how to celebrate itself.
