From costumes to cake, agencies honor Independence Day

A summary of how some federal agencies and the armed forces are celebrated Independence Day

Across the federal government, agencies are celebrating the Fourth of July. This year’s holiday falls on a Monday, giving many in the federal workforce a long weekend. Of course, there are also many federal employees working today to keep the rest of us safe. We have collected some images shared by agencies across the government and consolidated them here.

First off, the National Parks Service posted this on their Twitter account reminding everyone of all the monuments and parks that they manage. This evening, the National Mall, managed by NPS, will be host to fireworks in Washington, DC.

The armed forces also wished everyone a great holiday:

Elsewhere in the government, the National Archives and Records Administration celebrated in style. Pictured below is the Acting Archivist of the United States, Debra Steidel Wall standing with a few costumed colonists.
