While there are no notable celebrity birthdays on the 4th of July, the United States of America (1776-present) turns 233 today. Give it up for the red, white and blue!

In honor of our great growing yet another year older and (hopefully) wiser, here's an image that pretty much sums up what the glory of this country is all about.

Happy birthday, America ...

U-S-A! U-S-A! If this patriotic image doesn't inspire a sense of pride on this special national holiday, you better check yourself for a pulse. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
