"Fourth of July is my most favorite holidays. The saddest thing always was that it was just never long enough. For Christmas you get a whole month to celebrate," said Shockey. "No matter how divided we are or what's going on politically, this is a good time to come together. It's what's important."
The night ended with a fireworks show synced with patriotic music by the 101st Army Band.
