## Resource

As the U.S. prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Americans are marking the occasion in wildly different ways—some with patriotic parades, candy tosses, and vintage trucks, while others question the cost and tone of the festivities. A Montana veteran revives a 1954 Chevy to honor those who served, while a Chicago progressive wonders if the money could be better spent. In Maine, a Democrat sees strength in America’s foundation but fears a lack of respectful dialogue. Polls reveal a generational split: older adults plan gatherings or TV viewing, while younger folks barely care. And in Idaho, a longtime firework watcher ponders whether the current president feels any pride presiding over this historic milestone.
