Celebrate!

Attend or throw a party with plenty of red, white, and blue decor to showcase your patriotic spirit. Spend time among friends, family, and neighbors, with traditional food, games, music, and festivities. Hot dogs, water balloons, sparklers, and cold refreshments are about as American as you can get. Add a few fresh floral arrangements in red, white, and blue and enjoy the day.

Attend a Patriotic Parade

All across the nation, there will be Independence Day parades celebrating soldiers, veterans, and military families who have played a part in serving our country. Find the nearest parade and take your family to behold the experience. Watching veterans, military personnel, flags, and decorative floats go by is a great way to show your patriotism as well as feel the patriotic pride build up within you.

Support a Veteran

Offer to assist veterans in your community by running errands for them, picking up their groceries, mowing their lawns, or providing transportation for them. If you don’t know any veterans in your area, contact your local VA facility and ask how you can donate your time, money, or services to benefit veterans and their families.

Fly the Stars and Stripes

Hang the American flag outside your house to show patriotism, just make sure it is displayed correctly. For example, the flag should not touch the ground and should fly above any other flag being displayed. If you are displaying the flag at night, it must be illuminated.

Visit a National Park or Historic Landmark

America’s National Parks are some of the most beautiful and well-maintained parks in the world. Usually operating on a tight budget, it’s easy to support our national parks by visiting them, joining their Friends of the Park organization, or donating to your favorite park. Also, our nation’s landmarks and monuments commemorate our country’s natural wonders and historically important sites, which are all worth visiting.

Shop Local & Buy American

The best way to show your patriotism is by supporting the small businesses in your community. Shopping locally-owned companies and Made-in-America products puts money back into your local economy and benefits the overall national economy.

Display Patriotic Blooms

Beautify your yard and show your patriotism by planting flowers in red, white, and blue in your yard or placing them in hanging planters on your porch. Enhance your interior with patriotic blooms displayed in your kitchen or on your mantle. You can also gift a patriotic arrangement to military families or veterans to brighten their day, or place them on a soldier’s grave in honor of their service.
