Yes.

As I've repeatedly posted here, Denmark is home to the largest Independence Day celebration outside the United States. Every year, tens of thousands of people gather at Rebild in Northern Jutland for a huge open air celebration, with music, dancing, entertainment and speeches by prominent Danes and Americans.

The ones who attend are predominantly emigrants living in the States, their descendants and others with a strong connection to the U.S. But a lot of "ordinary" Danes, as well as Americans who happen to be in the area parttake also. I've never been, since it's a bit out of the way for me, but I'd certainly like to.

This will be a first for me to celebrate it in the US.

That's really weird and slightly disturbing.

It's like your entire nation is stalking us or something...

You find it weird and disturbing that people want to strengthen the bonds across the Atlantic, between their new home and the old country? FYI, it's been in place since 1912.

There are celebrations all over the world. Usually low key ones by Americans living overseas where the locals join in as an excuse to party. Not much different than here really where the holiday is more known as July 4th rather than Independence Day. I don't see how it would be weird for others to join in on the fun.

Our revolution did away with the idea of "divine right of monarchs" -- why wouldn't other countries in the world want to celebrate that?

Before you celebrate (and you should celebrate) remember the slaves, natives and all other minority groups that have been displaced, oppressed and assimiliated over the years.

(Just so I don't seem like a hypocrite )

And then celebrate all the good things

You're preaching the choir -- many of us here fully acknowledge the bad with the good.

But celebration of Independence Day is meant to be uplifting -- hence the word, "celebration."

And let's not forget Union Day of July 3.

Red Arrows flew a circuit over London streaming out red, white and blue smoke.

It was supposed to represent the US, but looked more like the French flag. Those stars are damned hard to get right, even for avionic and aerobatic experts!
