Do you celebrate Independence Day on the 2nd or on the 4th?

I celebrate it on whichever day the parade and fireworks are held. Which is usually a weekend, no matter what the actual date happens to be.
So do most people. However, that's really the point. I was pointing out a little tidbit of trivia. A "yup Sept. 2 is the official day the Japanese signed their surrender, and we celebrate it then. But DID YOU KNOW...that the date of the actual surrender was August 14?"
And instead of saying "well how about that, interesting!" someone decided it was worth arguing about.
