I believe celebrating independence day is in honour of the liberation movement and the freedom fighters. Many came before us and paved the way to enable us enjoy the freedoms we now have. My celebrating it is my small way of saying thank you to these "heroes" for the sacrifices, the blood shed, families forever destroyed... sacrifice after sacrifice made for the benefit of future generations.

And this is said with respect to my personal views being a citizen of a country that was colonized. I can see why you would feel differently and I respect that.
