Worldwide in cooperation with the National Park Service, will again produce a
free live simulcast via satellite and the web of the Washington, D.C., National Capital
4th of July Fireworks Celebration for the benefit of American military personnel and
their families stationed overseas. This year the webcast will salute veterans of the
U.S. Merchant Marine, with support from “Tell
America,” an Internet TV Campaign highlighting the importance of the U.S. flag
merchant fleet in peace and war.

The free satellite and web broadcast coverage begins at 8:45 PM (ET) on Friday, July
4, and is being produced in cooperation with the National Park Service thanks to sponsorship
from Base Technologies, Inc., “Tell America,” T3 Motion and the International Webcasting
Association.

People around the world can tune to USVets.TV, TV
Worldwide, and Maritime TV,
to view our nation’s brilliant fireworks display firsthand and view a pre-event program.

The national fireworks are scheduled to begin at 9:10 PM (ET), and will last roughly
21 minutes. The fireworks are choreographed to a simulcast audio program of patriotic
music that will be provided by the National Park Service. The webcast will be produced
from the Netherlands Carillon area across the Potomac River in Arlington, VA, allowing
for a spectacular view of the US Capitol, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln
Memorial.
