The United States Embassy enjoyed its annual 4th of July celebration on Thursday, June 4, one month early, in order to respect the upcoming Ramadhan month, which will begin on June 17 and last for one month.
US Ambassador to Indonesia Robert O. Blake and US Ambassador to ASEAN Nina Hachigian presided over the festivities, which involved brass band renditions of the Star-Spangled Banner and the Indonesian national anthem, Indonesia Raya.
Blake explained that the theme of the event leaned toward green development, which supported the US focus on building and promoting a green economy and more environmentally sustainable development.
He also praised Indonesias performance as a fully functioning democracy, aiming for further collaboration between the two countries in the years to come.
The US will continue to support Indonesia in the future through its democratic achievements. Democracy is an American value which we have championed since [the countrys birth in] 1776, Blake told the crowd during the festivities at his residence near Taman Suropati, Central Jakarta, on Thursday.
He added that moving the 4th of July celebrations to June 4 was one done out of respect for the upcoming Ramadhan month, which will last from June 17 to July 17.
The event also showcased a number of American products and businesses, including the Zero FX Electric Motorcycles, which Blake explained were an environmentally friendly vehicle used by the California Highway Patrol.
Several high-level Indonesian officials attended the festivities, including Jakarta Governor Basuki Ahok Tjahaja Purnama, T***sportation Minister Ignasius Jonan, Coordinating Economic Minister Sofyan Djalil, Deputy Foreign Minister AM Fachir and Industry Minister Saleh Husin. Other figures such as Golkar Party chairman Aburizal Bakrie were also in attendance.
The United States declared their independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776.

US Embassies are considered US soil in foreign lands. Why on earth would we do this? Is the Jakarta embassy here suspending Ramadan on July 4th? This smacks of O and his perpetual ass kissing of all thing Muslim.

Sure seems like we are acquiescing to Muslims doesn't it ? That said, this is in their country & since Islam is the dominant religion, maybe we should. Now in this country we shouldn't be allowing political correctness to overule our heritage...
