This week, Americans across the country will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

While it should be a time for reflection and patriotism, research shows that Americans have complicated feelings about the country ahead of this milestone.

This week on The Gaggle, we turn the microphone over to Arizonans to find out how they're feeling about the country as the country's 250th birthday approaches.

We asked them how the anniversary is making them feel, what they would change about America if they could and what makes them proud to live here.
