Pop goes the 4th of July! Sky Glam and celebrations across America was a true red white and blue extravaganza. The sky showed off with sparkle and glitter captivating every onlooker until the very last spark turned to a dark smoke trail. There’s something about bottle rockets in the sky on the 4th of July that says summer the same way a song from the past ushers in old memories.
We were a little bit loud…enjoying the sights and sounds. And not to mention the food, hotdogs and burgers – The food is always the perfect prelude to a big time.
And the sounds! Nothing can bring you to attention like the big booms and pops from fireworks. The one time of year the crowds are festive, fired up and ready to engage. Across America in every crook and cranny the sounds of hoots and hollers echo through the air as every heart welcomes another birthday year. As we gather together in unity under the Stars and Stripes of Independence Day.
I hope your celebration was as fun as mine. Until then,
For The Love Of Country, Happy Birthday USA… We love you!
American Flag
July 4th, 1776, the official birthday, and founding day of the United States Of America. A day of celebration!
Fireworks, Happy 4th Of July
A day that marching bands parade through main street and fireworks light up the night sky. Friends gather on the beaches, and families gather in backyards to grill hotdogs and burgers.

American Flag, from sea to shining sea
But the day represents more than fun celebrations, it’s really about the commemoration of the great risks the Founders took to free the colonies. It’s about the signing of The Declaration Of Independence, the separation of the thirteen colonies from Great Britain. Who composed the Declaration? You guessed it right, I know, Thomas Jefferson. Where did the signing happen? Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  A city that hosts so much rich culture, the Liberty Bell, The first Post Office, Independence Hall, The Presidents House, Franklin Square and on and on the list go. I worked in Philly over 10 years, I enjoyed the culture, The Museum Of History, The Bridges, especially the Ben Franklin and naturally my favorite spot was the Edgar Allan Poe House. Can you imagine how excited I was to see the house where Poe wrote “Raven”?? Â
George Washington statement
America the beautiful
She is so beautiful, grandeur in appearance as she towers over the land and sea. The flag always makes me feel proud of the brave soldiers and families who sacrificed everything for the love of country. How precious are the military, they are Heros, America’s Grand Jewels. I wish we could dethrone Hollywood A-listers and give their fame and glory to our military. They are honorable, giving, and devoted to protecting our Country. Thank you….

Our freedom was a big cost. A price not to be taken for granted. Fly your flags, dress patriotic and sing your favorite Patriotic song. I sent you one, now you find one you like. Be safe and have a great 4th! Oh, and look for a soldier to thank.
