  1. What a dumb headline. A salute to all nations,…. but mostly America. What? The July 4 holiday celebrates the US not other counties. Ridiculous

    1. Hey Paul, the title was actually a reference to the line Sam Eagle gives in the Muppet Vision 3D attraction — super patriotic Sam Eagle is says his finale will be “A Salute to All Nations but Mostly America.”
