Today is a day that I hold near and dear to my heart. My husband and I are both veterans and we are proud to have served our country. I only wish we still were. For me, the 4th of July symbolizes what this nation is about, independence and freedom. We are so lucky for the lifestyles that we are allowed to live. I gripe a lot about the current happenings in our country but when you step back for a moment you have to realize how much better life in America is.
I love the flags flying, all the red, white and blue decor and the sound of the Star Spangled Banner playing during the fireworks displays. It makes me proud to be a part of America and proud to call myself an American. As far as celebrating, I love to have a bbq and watch the big fireworks displays. Unfortunately this year we are in the Arizona desert and due to the recent wildfires there will not be any fireworks allowed. My kids are really going to miss the sparklers :-(
What does the 4th symbolize for you? How do you celebrate?
