President Whitmore: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
--"Independence Day" (1996)

Fireworks seen from the Elitch Gardens Observation Tower.. being that high up felt like cheating just a bit...

Toby Zeigler: You know the thing about you, Mr. President? It isn't so much that you cheat. It's how brazenly bad you are at it.
President Bartlet: I beg your pardon?
Josh Lyman: Toby's got a point there, sir.
President Bartlet: When have I ever cheated?
Toby: Up in Florida, playing mixed doubles with me and C.J. You tried to tell us that your partner worked at the American Consulate in Vienna.
President Bartlet: And she did!
Toby: It was Steffi Graf, sir.
President Bartlet: Well, I will admit that the woman bore a striking resemblance...
