British View American Patriotism

George Mack shares his experience attending 4th of July celebrations in Nashville as a British person.

"One of my reflections coming from the UK and experiencing America - despite all the political shenanigans America has - attending 4th of July in Nashville was wild. There's flags everywhere, people chanting 'USA USA USA', everyone's on the streets.

I was at the end of the day chanting USA and people were going 'You can't do that, that's why we're chanting because we got rid of you guys!'

I then reflected and realized I'd never met an American that doesn't celebrate their national day in some regard. Then I realized I've never met a Brit that does celebrate their national day. And then I realized I've never met a Brit who even knows the day of their national day."
