Independence Day

Kuwait achieved independence from the United Kingdom on June 19, 1961. The United States gained independence from the UK on July 4, 1776. This week will see lots of fireworks in the United States as we celebrate with parades, barbecues, and picnics. It is a time for families to come together and remember what it took to gain our liberty. June 19 passed without any fanfare here as far as I could tell.
