You're rocking red, white and blue, holding a patriotic can of Bud Light, eating a hotdog and belting out a 'U-S-A!' chant. There's nothing quite more American than that, and I wouldn't expect you to spend your July 4th any other way. But now all you need is the perfect quote for that freedom snapshot you've taken, and that's where I come in. Enjoy these patriotic quotes and your four day weekend, but most of all enjoy the greatness of this nation. Happy birthday, America. You're only getting better with age.
