Fourth of July Celebration-Let Freedom Ring!

run in a time when many Americans are fighting for our freedom and the freedom of others less fortunate, the fourth of July celebration a metamorphosis before our eyes. No longer just the happy Fourth of July celebrations of my past, this day now brings to those who have the choice to donate their thoughts, all in their defense of the freedom of others.

During this celebration note there, I think it's important to continue to celebrate the day of our independence. II do not think our soldiers would like to otherwise, because now you have, the men and women, to celebrate the struggle for the freedom of others.

Typically, this day is filled with picnics, parades and fireworks, but also those who can not celebrate a whole new aspect of the party of the fourth of July celebrations. Remember, they are wearing a printed red, white and blue T-shirt with the name of a soldier overseas, whether it be a family member or someonenever met. Wear a black armband with the name of someone who lost his life printed in a war. It does not end a war. You can lose your friend or relative in Vietnam, Korea, World War I or World War II, or the war. Tie a yellow ribbon around a tree in your garden or a tie, waving the flag in the parade. Just remember that some do not celebrate at home, and the flag for them.

Traditional picnic foods like burgers and hot dogs grilled, potatoesSalad and baked beans are still the standard rate. In many areas of the United States, July 4 is extremely hot, and most people enjoy something cold and soothing. Try an old man in a patriotic theme. Homemade ice cream! With electric freezers, one should bear arms to turn, and the mix of ice cream can be made ahead of time, frozen for eating just before the time, and eaten by cups, thrown away with the spoon, to minimize cleaning. Plain-vanilla-white, but aa few drops of food coloring (and fruit if you like) can use the red and blue to make it perfect patriotic Fourth of July celebration.
