Unfortunately when you work retail, like I do, you have to work. Now if it falls on your day off that is great. When we were stationed in Hawaii we spent the day at the beach. Then we went home cleaned up and then went to post(the base) with blankets to sit on and watched the fireworks show. We'd walk around until dark sampling things from vendors and having fun. I haven't been off on July Fourth since 2001 & 2002. But hey I work in a convenience store aka gas station. All the people will be in to buy gas, ice, drinks that they forgot or don't want to go to the bigger stores for.
