I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July too!
Yes, we are ALL PROUD AMERICANS, and the flag belongs to all of us and not a political movement.

Thank you, Sydney, for your comments. Yes, it seems the flag is being associated with only one political party lately, and that isn’t what the flag was meant to represent.
Yes, I remember our 4th of July in Iowa too. It’s so nice that you remember that!

Thanks for reminding us of what brings us together as Americans on this special day.

Our beautiful flag shows the world who we are…proud Americans.

You stated so well what we all need to remember: the flag is for all of us and represents the ideals that our country has struggled towards for the last 250 years. We haven’t reached all those ideals yet, maybe they are something you always have to work towards? Hopefully our flag can help unite us enough to keep trying!
Happy 4th of July! I still remember the fun we had celebrating together back in Iowa:-)

Thanks Helen.
Have a wonderful 4th of July.
I look forward to seeing you in September!

Thanks Shirlee for your thoughts. The American flag belongs to every American. It isn’t owned by a political party, a movement, or an ideology. It represents the ideals our country strives for—freedom, sacrifice, resilience, and the generations of men and women who have served, protected, and built this nation.
SO fly your flag proudly Cousin!

Sydney and I have talked about this before, and we too think it’s very sad that one side seems to have usurped the flag. I’m sure she’ll have a flag out for the holiday, and I think I will too.

Wonderful photos!
