Celebrate!

Spending time with loved ones is making memories is one of the best ways to celebrate Independence Day. Whether you host a party in the park or attend a backyard cookout with friends and neighbors, decorate the space with the colors of the American flag. Red, white, and blue flowers, ribbons, balloons, garland, banners, and down to paper plates and table cloths are wonderful ways to commemorate our patriotism and freedom.

Attend a Patriotic Parade

Fourth of July parades are a magnificent tradition that many Americans look forward to every year. While some parades commemorate the bravery of our soldiers with marching bands, others decorate bicycles and classic cars with red, white, and blue streamers. Veterans often march in the parade while onlookers wave, clap, and show their patriotism.

Support a Veteran

Donate your time or services to assist and honor the veterans in your community. This is a brilliant and generous way to show your gratitude and patriotism. Send handwritten “thank you” letters, flowers, or gift baskets to veterans in your family, around your neighborhood, or at the local VA as a way to commemorate the Fourth of July and other patriotic holidays.

Fly the Stars and Stripes

The most symbolic way to celebrate Independence Day is by waving or hanging the American flag. With red and white stripes representing the 13 original colonies and 50 white stars filling the blue background symbolizing each state, this is merely the beginning of the great significance this flag holds. As such, it is crucial to always be respectful and follow the “rules” of flying our country’s stars and stripes.
