We also know everyone is getting ready to be all decked out in red, white, and blue, but we also want to make sure the true meaning of the holiday is recognized too. Fourth of July, also known as July 4th or Independence Day, first became a federal holiday in 1941 in the United States. It is the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and a day in which we honor those who serve our country and community every day. Country stars have always put out some of the very best songs to not only honor our country but what the every day person can relate to as well. Between Toby Keith's iconic "Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue," Carrie Underwood's "American Girl," Kenny Chesney's "American Kids," and so many more, you'll have everyone at your gathering, or celebration, singing along in not time.
