Commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence from us Brits, it's a day when the US can celebrate its traditions and history.

Last weekend was the third occasion on which Kellogg's Cheez-It crackers brand marked Indepedence Day with a statue.
2007 saw the creation of a Mount Rushmore made from cheese.
