250th! Reader’s Digest Names Idaho’s Best July 4 Firework Display

The year 2026 is a massive one for America. From rocket trips around the moon and planned mixed martial arts on the White House lawn, to nearly 250 years of independence, if you're not feeling patriotic right now, you might want to check your pulse.

This year, the greatest country on Earth--the United States of America--is flexing big time on the rest of the world. We just sent humans further into space than any other country on the planet with the Artemis II mission. President Donald Trump has planned a pay-per-view, MMA event on the White House lawn on June 14, and our 250th anniversary of our country's independence from Great Britain is just a few weeks away.

It feels good to be American!
