10 Things You Can Do to Show Your Patriotism
June 27th, 2011
The Fourth of July is just around the corner and many of us are looking forward to the firework displays. We will fly our American Flags, wear red, white and blue and eat delicious food, all in the name of our Great Country and the Freedoms we share. But at FLAGS everyday is the Fourth of July! There’s no need to wait for a patriotic holiday. So we are starting a list of things you can do to show your love of the U.S. of A.
10 Things You Can Do to Show Your Patriotic Spirit EVERYDAY!
- Write a Letter To The Troops they love to hear from us and how much we appreciate their efforts to protect our freedoms.
- Hang a flag outside your door. Any day is good or all year long, not just on holidays.
- Wear an American Flag t-shirt. Or tell FLAGS your patriotic story and you could win a FREE T-shirt!
- Dress-up your dog or cat in red, white & blue. They love the USA too.
- Quilt, crochet, sew or knit a Blanket for Recovery for the troops. Wounded and recovering Veterans will cherish your efforts.
- Sing a patriotic song, because it’s fun. Check out this cutie singing You’re a Grand Old Flag below.
- Visit the public library and read a patriotic story to your kids. They will love it.
- Download the coloring pages from FLAGS, make patriotic artwork and display it on the fridge or in window for all to see.
- Brush up on some FLAG etiquette; did you know that you can fly your flag 24 hours a day, but when the sun is down you must make sure that it is properly illuminated?
- Visit a Veteran’s Home. Just pop in, say hello and shake a few hands. You’ll be glad you did.
There are many different ways you can show your love of our beautiful USA. If you have done something patriotic that you want to share (we love pictures) or have some patriotic activates to add to this list, let us know. We would love to hear from you! And if we have your OK we’ll share your stories on our website.
Happy Birthday America!
Love, FLAGS Across The Nation


Wounded service men and women are allowed to personalized their space with one quilt/blanket. The blankets not only provide warmth, but remind them that someone cares. Although the quilter and service person may have never met, the blanket ties them together.
