Independance Day on a military base overseas is a bigger celebration than Christmas. Here in Rota, Spain is no difference. As we are located on a Spanish military base, most days of the year we are not allowed to fly the American flag, 4th of July is the exception.
MWR is in charge of hosting the day's events, so everyone gets involved. This year the schedule involved youth activities, contests throughout the day, a dancing horse show, the Spanish Marine band, a Santana Tribute Band, and ending the night with fireworks.
Here are some pictures from the festivities (all stolen from one of my bosses as I was too busy driving the shuttle to experience little more than the horse show and the band.)
