July 4th decorations, anybody doing any? We used to hang my Grandfathers (WWII) flag on our front porch where we grew up. But that was many, many years ago. Today, as I did on Memorial day I did a mixture of the American flag and flags representing all the different armed forces of the US. I'd just love to find a flag/colors to represent my greatgrandfather from the Civil War. Happy 4th everyone and special thanks to those who made it possible and those that kept it that way.

I fly the flag every day at both my house and my work.
The 4th and Memorial Day get a few more red white and blues on my gate and mail box.
Happy and safe 4th all, and NEVER forget, bitches! None of it!

We have a neighborhood parade every 4th. Mostly for the kids to become involved in patriotism. It’s nice that I can see it from my front yard. I live in Pompano but the city of Fort Lauderdale usually sends their mounted police officers to join in.

Who did your grandfather and great grandfather serve with? That's pretty cool Jerry, my brothers went to Gettysburg. Stumpy, my grandfather was in the Navy in WWII. He was sunk in the Soloman Islands in New Georgia Sound on the USS Helena. My dads grandfather was in the 110th Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry, Army of the Potomac. He was wounded at Chancellorsville and was eventually musterd out in the 115th. His wound killed him about 10years later, blood poisoning.

I’ll put our flag out and the neighbors flag out. They’re traveling and will know I fly it for them. I’m definitely praying for our great nation.
