With their intense training routines put on pause, these vigorous athletes took some time off to revel in the spirit of freedom and unity that the day embodies.
The celebration took various forms as these athletes chose different ways to highlight their patriotism. Some decided to throw barbecue parties and fireworks displays for their families and friends.
