Except for calendar makers and government offices, Yanks don't celebrate "Independence Day."
They celebrate "The Fourth of July."
The only other holidays known by the date that have caught my attention are also New-World. _Cinquo de Mayo_ and Juneteenth.
Anyway, I wrote 3 stories around the Fourth of July. They are all intertwined:
Perchance to Dream,
Holiday, and
Lakeside Fireworks.
The first 2 take place on the 4th with numerous flashbacks. The 3rd culminates on that day. They all have the same locale -- Michigan's Upper Peninsula -- and involve many of the same characters.
