Stephen Colbert is Bringing America Together
4th of July weekend is here. And its a long weekend with the holiday falling on a Tuesday. Americans are in full swing demonstrating their pride for the country they call home. Granted, some of that “showing pride” is just getting blackout drunk while wearing flag-themed clothing (guilty ✋.) Other Americans are actually visiting the parts of the United States which reflect how wonderful this land is. And those people are coming together thanks to a trending hashtag created by Stephen Colbert.

After Colbert tweeted the photo of the “American Greatness” he is visiting in North Carolina, his followers came through with some beautiful locations and historically important moments they are experiencing during the patriotic weekend.
