There's hardly a holiday more patriotic than the Fourth of July. As the sun sets, the burgers grill, and the red, white, and blue streamers fly, it's hard not to think back to that fateful night almost 240 years ago when the USA was born. Or, if you're not feeling quite so sentimental, you'll at least be excited by the sky-sweeping fireworks, juicy watermelon, and good company.
