Let me give a non-goofy reply.
I live on Guam, "Where America's day begins."
Not a state, but definitely America!
July 21st is the biggest holiday here, it is Liberation Day. On July 21, 1944, US troops returned to Guam, hence Liberation Day. There is a big parade every year, fireworks, and since this year is the 60th anniversary, there are a large number of veterans from the 1944 landings here on island to participate in the celebration.
It all helps to remind what America should be about.
