And did I mention some of the best craft beer and seafood in America? Seafair Summer Fourth, Seattle, WA Speaking of seafood, head down to the world famous Pike Place Fish Market, dodge a few fish, buy some- thing fresh to toss on the grill and afterwards head over to the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Summer Fourth at Gas Works Park.

Was there any doubt that the biggest 4 th of July fireworks display in America would be at the top of our list? Every year, Macy’s Fireworks sees more than

three-million people line the banks of the East River in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens to watch what has become in its 42-year history a “dazzling pyrotechnic spectacle.” It’s also an annual tradition for more than 12 million television viewers from coast-to-coast. This year, Kelly Clarkson will perform God Bless America on the 100th anniversary of Irving Berlin’s American classic. The West Point Glee Club and the West Point Band will also headline an inspiring and star-studded night of patriots and patriotism! We hope that wherever you are to celebrate Indepen- dence Day that you enjoy the day with friends and family.

Happy July 4 th , from our family to yours!!!!
