I think, any day on which a county earned its independence should be called "Independence Day" cos it signifies what the people are celebrating. A day this important shouldn't be reduced to a mere date and month. A person who is not from America wouldn't know what Americans are celebrating on this day. It's my honest opinion.

BTW Happy Independence Day to my American friends. Huh, that's interesting. Weird how certain phrases and terms like "4th of July" are so commonly used even though they don't make much sense. Independence Day is a much more honorable title for the holiday I agree, so Happy Independence Day I guess :)
