Lovely piece, Emil.

I’ve sort of opted out of festivities this year. Though I could see some fireworks from my deck tonight. That was nice.

What a lovely piece. Thanks Emil.

I hope everyone had or is still having a wonderful 4th. We saw some lovely fireworks last night. The weather was very cooperative the entire weekend. My little one enjoyed a carnival and decorated her bike for the big parade. It was really sweet to see the little ones waving their flags during the parade.

My husband and I visited the New England states several years ago right after the 4th of July. We were so impressed with the amount of American flags that were everywhere. It seemed like almost every house when you were driving through the countryside displayed an American flag. I think displaying the American flag in the Midwest is still pretty prominent also.

It is important to be proud of your country and to keep in mind why we celebrate July 4th. I agree with Paige. It is more than picnics, parades and fireworks, although the picnics, parades and fireworks can be a heck of a lot of fun and a great way for the family to celebrate.

Independence Day. That is what I like to call it when talking to my son. It makes so clear that the 4th of July is about more than picnics, parades, and fireworks.

Thanks for sharing your memories.

Very well expressed and I understand what the USA Flag represents and I’m not even American. I just live here. My children are American and I’ll be teaching them what their Country really stands for and be proud of it’s true History and the respect to never forget!! I’m already teaching my 5 year old the Pledge of Allegiance. It’s an honor to celebrate with my family on the 4th of July.
