Independence Day is almost here!

Thursday July 4^th 2013 marks the 237^th birthday of the United States.  Happy Birthday America!  Every Independence Day, Americans ring in the holiday with a celebration of fireworks, parades, and delicious food grilled in backyard barbeques surrounded by family and friends.

Here at TVI Supply we would like to share a few fun facts about Independence Day:

Did you know?

• The Fourth of July was not declared a national holiday until 1941.
• The only place the American Flag is never flown at half-mast is the moon.
• Workers who make firecrackers have to be sure to wear clothes entirely made of cotton or the static electricity could potentially set off the fireworks.
• On July 4^th 1776 there were an estimated 2.5 million people living in the U.S. Our population has multiplied nearly 125 times over the course of 237 years!
• Americans celebrate Independence on July 4^th which was the day the Declaration was adopted; America actually gained its independence from Great Britain July 2^nd, 1776.
• The "Star Spangled Banner" was officially adopted as the national anthem in 1931 even though it had a long history of being played at military events.
• The most popular holidays for barbecuing in the U.S. are, in order, July 4th, Memorial Day, and Labor Day.
