Happy Birthday America!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend celebrating America's birthday! Here is some 4th of July trivia for you:

* The United States spends around $128 million on fireworks from China* Fireworks were invented in China in the 12th century to ward off evil spirits
* 1-in-6 of the beef grilled at your BBQ is from Texas* James Monroe (the 30th president) is the only president to be born on July 4th
* The 4th of July didn't become a federal legal holiday until 1941

Just a little education for you! I thought that was pretty interesting!
Happy Birthday America, its been real!
