In the wise words of Miley Cyrus, ā€œItā€™s a party in the USA!ā€ Weā€™ve always lived by this motto, even if we have to do it while in quarantine. But this holds especially true on the 4th of July. Itā€™s basically written in the bylaws of the Declaration of Independence.Ā 

Listen, we donā€™t make the rules!
