PATRIOTIC PICNIC

A BIKE RIDE TO THE BEACH FOR A PICNIC TO SEE THE FIREWORKS

GOD BLESS AMERICA, MY HOME SWEET HOME

.

I STAND FOR THE FLAG, I KNEEL FOR THE CROSS.

.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE, THESE COLORS DON’T RUN.

.

OUR FLAG DOES NOT FLY BECAUSE THE WIND MOVES IT… IT FLIES WITH THE LAST BREATH OF EACH SOLDIER WHO DIED PROTECTING IT.

.

I THINK PATRIOTISM IS LIKE CHARITY, IT BEGINS AT HOME.

.

IF IT INVOLVES FIREWORKS, SUMMER NIGHTS, BARBECUES, COCA COLA, AND FREEDOM, COUNT ME IN.

.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

.

FREEDOM IS NOTHING BUT A CHANCE TO BE BETTER.

.

MAKE THIS FOURTH OF JULY MEMORABLE BY COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS AND TRULY APPRECIATING YOUR FREEDOM.

.

FREEDOM IS NEVER GRANTED. IT IS EARNED BY EACH GENERATION.

.

ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU; ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY.

.

LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE

.

FREEDOM IS NEVER MORE THAN ONE GENERATION FROM EXTINCTION. WE DIDN’T PASS IT TO OUR CHILDREN IN THE BLOODSTREAM. IT MUST BE FOUGHT FOR, PROTECTED AND HANDED ON FOR THEM TO DO THE SAME.

.

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

.

MAY WE THINK OF FREEDOM, NOT AS THE RIGHT TO DO AS WE PLEASE, BUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.

.

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL BE CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD. MATHEW 5:9

.

MY HEROES ARE THOSE WHO RISK THEIR LIVES EVERY DAY TO PROTECT OUR WORLD AND MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE – POLICE, FIREFIGHTERS AND MEMBERS OF OUR ARMED FORCES.

.

THE AMERICAN FLAG REPRESENTS ALL OF US AND ALL THE VALUES WE HOLD SACRED.

.

BOLD STRIPES, BRIGHT STARS AND BRAVE HEARTS

.

A PATRIOTIC HEART BLEEDS RED, WHITE AND BLUE

.

WITH GREAT RESPECT IN OUR HEARTS, LET’S GIVE OUR THANKS TO ALL THE GREAT SOLDIERS WHO MAKE OUR LAND FREE.

.

ALL MIGHT BE FREE IF THEY VALUED FREEDOM, AND DEFENDED IT AS THEY OUGHT.

.

FOR THE FREEDOMS THAT WE ALL ENJOY… OUR THANKS GO TO THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN SERVING IN ALL BRANCHES OF THE MILITARY. WE SALUTE YOU!

.

A SOLDIER DOESN’T FIGHT BECAUSE HE HATES WHAT IS IN FRONT OF HIM, HE FIGHTS BECAUSE HE LOVES WHAT HE LEFT BEHIND

.

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.

.

I LIKE TO SEE A MAN PROUD OF THE PLACE IN WHICH HE LIVES. I LIKE TO SEE A MAN LIVE SO THAT HIS PLACE WILL BE PROUD OF HIM.

.

WE WILL STAND FOR THE RIGHT, WE WILL STAND BY THE TRUE, WE WILL LIVE, WE WILL DIE FOR THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE.

.

IN GOD WE TRUST

.

MAY WE NEVER FORGET THAT FREEDOM ISN’T FREE.

.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD

.

IF YOU ARE ASHAMED TO STAND BY YOUR COLORS, YOU HAD BETTER SEEK ANOTHER FLAG.

.

U S A

.

I THINK OF A HERO AS SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE DEGREE OF RESPONSIBILITY THAT COMES WITH HIS FREEDOM.

.

IN THE FACE OF IMPOSSIBLE ODDS, PEOPLE WHO LOVE THIS COUNTRY CAN CHANGE IT.

.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! REMEMBER: IF YOU DRINK A FIFTH ON THE FOURTH, YOU MAY NOT GO FORTH ON THE FIFTH.

.

WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT, THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, THAT THEY ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, THAT AMONG THESE ARE LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. -DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

.

GOD SHED HIS GRACE ON THEE

.

THE STRONGEST WEAPON IN THE UNITED STATES IS A PATRIOTIC AMERICAN

.

YOU’RE A GRAND OLD FLAG, YOU’RE A HIGH FLYING FLAG AND FOREVER IN PEACE MAY YOU WAVE.

.

ADVICE FROM AN EAGLE: LET YOUR SPIRIT SOAR, SEE THE BIG PICTURE, CHERISH FREEDOM, HONOR THE EARTH AND THE SKY, KEEP YOUR GOALS IN SIGHT, BALD IS BEAUTIFUL, FLY HIGH!

.

I PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

I DEDICATE THIS BLOG TO MY AWESOME SON. I LOVE YOU!

    When you look at your blog it makes you forget the things that are going on in the world. I felt like I was down town especially with the lights and flags..
    Who wouldn’t love the Red White and Blue…
    God bless America,Good Job..

    I wish everyone in our United States of America could see this blog. You capture true patriotism. My favorite thing is the way you wove the American flag through the stars. Also I love the bow on the window valance. My sister Carolyn would be so thrilled to see her collection of Fourth of July baskets used in a way I’m sure she envisioned doing someday. It amazes me how you take a simple picture or theme and expand in so many ways and tie it all together.

    One of your very best themes, truly from the heart and from a person that makes up the very best of our republic and the values that America is built on.
    Love you always, Earnie.
