We at Basic American Comfort would like to wish everyone a very happy and safe July 4th weekend.  Here are a few fun facts about July 4th from The U.S. Census Bureau.  Enjoy your holiday.

 On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress, setting the 13 colonies on the road to freedom as a sovereign nation. As always, this most American of holidays will be marked by parades, fireworks and backyard barbecues across the country.
