Happy Fourth of July!
The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated Independence Day at the Ravine with a pregame song by Billy Ray Cyrus, and an Air Force flyover during the national anthem.
Cyrus, better known as Miley's dad, performed "Some Gave All" behind home plate with his guitar while the color guard brought out an American flag in the shape of the United States that covered most of the outfield.
After the song, Cyrus sang the national anthem and two Air Force F-15 fighter jets flew over the stadium as seen in the video below.

The Dodgers kicked off Independence Day hosting the division rival Arizona Diamondbacks for a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
The D-backs are currently 2.5 games behind the Dodgers for first place in the National League West, making the three-game series one of the more vital of the season.
