 In Full: The ‘Independence Day’ Speech 2021 Needs

“Good afternoon.

In less than a week, we hope to fire up our grills,

And launch one of the biggest Fourth of July celebrations

In the history of the United States.


The United States. Those words have new meaning for us all today.

And whether you drive a pick-up or a hybrid,

You live in the heartland or on the coast,

Or whether you pronounce it ‘America’ or ‘Murica,’

We’re all Americans.


Seldom on the same page but reading from the same book.

On holidays, anyway.

Perhaps its fate that this Fourth of July, we gotta’ once again come together

To lend a hand to those less fortunate.

To those whose fate still lies in the balance.


We’re fighting for freedom for all.

Not from alien invaders.

From separation.

From being cooped up while baking bread.

And ignoring basic hygiene.


The time has come for us to get fresh,

Gather the crew, and eat veggie and meat burgers until we sweat.

And then, let’s work together towards a future

Where everyone can come to the party.


And should we win the day,

The Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday,

But the day when the world declared in one voice:

‘We will not go quietly into the night!’


We will fill the sky with so much light and freedom,

This thing will rue the day it ever messed with us.


Together, we celebrate out Independence Day.

Go Forth, America.”
