We at the AFL-CIO would like to wish you a happy, healthy and safe 4th of July. 

In case you missed it, here's our July 4th shopping list (if you're running out to the store at the last minute) and some grill and fire safety tips brought to you by the Fire Fighters (IAFF ). 

If you plan on shooting off your own fireworks, here's a great Facebook graphic from IAFF on fireworks safety .

Take a minute to watch this video on Made in America flags:
