While you were in the service, what is your most memorable on-base 4th of July celebration?

Celebrating Independence Day in Iraq by "registering" our battalion's mortars. Much better than plain old fireworks.

Okinawa Japan at Camp Foster. The E.M. Club hosted an all night movie, 25 cents draft beer and 50 cents mixed drinks. All the movies were either Military related or some type of violent movie. Among the movies were Mad Max, Green Berets, and Sands of Iwo Jima. Flags and Americana décor everywhere. Every hour the movie would pause and we would say the Pledge or sing Oh say can you seeeeeeee. Lol after about 6 hours of solid drinking, you should have heard the pledging and singing.

The one we got a full day on post pass during Basic Training. We were told we could go anywhere on base (minus Perm Party barracks and housing), and eat/drink whatever we wanted.
