Grab the candles, get ready to torch up 248 of them, and celebrate the US of A! America turns the ripe, relatively young age of 248 this week, and we, along with you, will no doubt be celebrating on the 4th of July.

As you’re passing the beers, flipping the burgers and gazing up to the BOOMS in the sky (you know, partying like it’s 1776), we extend a CHEERS to freedom and another year around the sun for this great country we call home.
