Photo Essay: United by Independence
Page 1 of 11
Posted July 2008
The United States is not the only nation that cherishes the anniversary of its birth, nor is watching fireworks the only way to spend the national holiday. From Seoul to Tegucigalpa, countries around the world celebrate their independence with unique and vibrant style.

August 19, 2007: An Afghan man emerges from a doorway beneath a large national flag as Afghanistan celebrates its independence day in Kabul. The holiday marks the signing of the treaty of Rawalpindi in 1919, when Afghanistan became formally independent from Britain.
