Today is the 235th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. On July 4, 1776, the American colonies of New England declared themselves to be a sovereign nation separate from Great Britain.

To people around the United States of America, the holiday means quite different things.

To young children, it typically means fireworks, parades and a whole lot of fun.

To older Americans, the picture can get a little more complicated.

Military veterans often view it as a day to honor their fallen comrades in arms, as well as a day to celebrate the freedoms represented in the U.S. Constitution.
