And I don’t mean the star of “Ugly Betty!” From sea to shining sea we’ll all be watching exciting firework shows on the beach or at a park or maybe in your own backyard! Pyrotechnics have shown amazing new shapes and designs in the last few years. A tribute to America here’s last years firework extravaganza at the Washington Monument.

 Every good fire work show needs a soundtrack! Here are some we’d recommend:

“America, The Beautiful” – Frank Sinatra

“Stars & Stripes Forever” – New York Philharmonic Orchestra

“The Star Spangled Banner” – Beyonce

“All American Girl” – Carrie Underwood

“God Bless the USA” – American Idol Contestants

“Living in America” – James Brown

“Only in America” – Brooks & Dunn

Don’t forget to pick up your set of at home legal fireworks. Those have got to be the most fun! Just remember safety first.
