This is the AI response I got to asking how Ford observed the day:


On July 4, 1976, President Gerald Ford participated in the U.S. Bicentennial celebrations by reviewing an international naval fleet in New York harbor. He sailed into New York harbor aboard the USS Wainwright, a guided missile cruiser, to observe the fleet review. The event included warships from various nations and concluded with a salute from the British Royal Navy's HMS London


Per Wiki: He also presided over the nationally televised fireworks display in Washington, D.C.
