Americans are expected to set a new record for July 4 holiday travel this week, according to AAA.

Americans are feeling good about the future and a record number will hit the road to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday.

Memorial Day weekend is set aside to honor the military men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms, but it’s also the unofficial start of summer. This year, experts say, the largest number of Americans since 2005 is hitting the road.
