7 Simple & Fun Ways to Show Patriotism
Celebrate!
Throw or attend a party to celebrate the 4th! Be sure to have red, white, and blue decor and plenty of food to enjoy the festivities with family and friends. Start out with red, white, and blue tableware, streamers, sparklers, and colorful cupcakes along with fresh floral arrangements in red, white, and blue to elevate the patriotism and elegance of any party.
Attend a Patriotic Parade
All across the nation, towns and cities traditionally hold an Independence Day parade to celebrate soldiers, veterans, and military families who have served our country. Bring your family along and enjoy the spectacle of a patriotic parade to lift your spirits.
Support a Veteran
Look to your own community to see if there are veterans who could use help with mowing their lawns, needing transportation, or help running errands. Or, send a veteran you know, or a family who has someone currently serving, a thoughtful gift basket to show your appreciation. If you don’t know any veterans, contact your local VA facility to find out how you can donate your time, money, or services to help veterans and their families.
Fly the Stars and Stripes
Fly the American flag to display patriotism this 4th of July. Just make sure it doesn’t touch the ground, is not torn or tattered, and is illuminated if flying at night.
Visit a National Park or Historic Landmark
America has some of the most beautiful and well-maintained National Parks in the world. And, our nation’s landmarks and monuments commemorate gorgeous natural wonders and historically important sites that will surely fill you with pride. Show your support by visiting these parks and landmarks, joining a Friends of the Park organization, or donating to your favorite site.
Shop Local & Buy American
Support local businesses and your community by shopping locally. Putting money back into your local economy is one of the most patriotic things you can do as it benefits the overall national economy.
Display Patriotic Blooms
Get out your gardening tools and spruce up your lawn by planting flower beds in red, white, and blue colors. Or, hang flowers in these colors from planters on your porch. Bring patriotic flowers into your home to celebrate the holiday, gift them to the host of a 4th of July party, or gift them to a veteran or a military family to brighten their day. Besides red, white, and blue flowers, there are other flowers with patriotic symbolism to consider, such as:
- Rose – is America’s national flower.
- Freesias – are flowy and beautiful blooms that symbolize freedom.
- Edelweiss – is a charming white flower shaped like a star and signifies strength and courage.
- Guernsey Lilies – are unique flowers that resemble fireworks and represent freedom and good fortune.
