Remember that the 4th of July is Independence Day in the United States. The holiday was established in memory of the events of 1776, when representatives of the 13 colonies formed in the United States adopted the historic Declaration of Independence – a solemn declaration of self -proclamation of independence from England.

Recall that in honor of the American holiday, the military band of the Armed Forces of Ukraine performed the US anthem for the first time.
