It will be unfurled at sporting events throughout the nation.
Today, the flag will be everywhere, so look up, stand proud,
and celebrate the freedom that it represents not just today, but everyday.
Love the way American's celebrate.... We just finished up our holiday weekend! We spent a quiet day at a creek.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing our flag any time. We went to an outdoor concert Thursday evening and the local fire department had a 40 flag flying from the top of the ladder on the ladder truck. It was awesome! Happy July 4th.

ReplyDeleteFlag ceremonies bring a tear to my eye! I read a book about the Heart Mountain Internment Camp & it really opened my eyes. Happy Independence Day to you & all!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome post! I hope you had a wonderful 4th.
ReplyDeleteFlags lined the downtown streets and the boy scouts distributed flags throughout the neighborhood. I fly a flag every day.
