You Vote: After a weekend of festivities celebrating America's 250th anniversary, what do you think?

From Boston to Washington DC, millions of revelers battled through intense storms and searing temperatures that peaked at a record 103 degrees on Saturday but managed to celebrate two and a half centuries of liberty with hundreds of thousands of fireworks shells, symphony music, tall ships and even drones.

And when inclement weather forced some revelers to evacuate the National Mall and take shelter inside the USDA headquarters, they broke into a joyous rendition of the Star Spangled Banner in a show of resilience captured for the ages on social media video.

Delayed for hours by the same storms, President Donald Trump took to a podium at the Reflecting Pool shortly before midnight and celebrated the unbreakable American spirit before presiding over an historic fireworks display with more than 800,000 shells fired.

"We are one people. We are one family. You showed that tonight!" Trump said in a soaring speech celebrating American exceptionalism. "With one flag, and as our Declaration of Independence tells us we are all made in the image of One Almighty God. And a communist will never say that."
