Five 4th of July, Independence Day Ideas
As we gather together at fun-filled backyard barbeques and fireworks displays, lets remember the true meaning of Independence Day by honoring the heritage of this great nation and the heroes who fought for her.
1. Fly Your Flag, show your neighbors and community that you stand behind the red, white and blue.
2. Educate Young People, explain the true meaning of Independence Day and tell them what our veterans have done to protect this country and our freedom.
3. Reach Out to a Military Family, offer to make a meal or mow the lawn of a military family in your community struggling through a long deployment.
4. Reach out to a veteran, stop in at your local VA or nursing home and spend just a little of your time talking to a veteran. Even 15 minutes of kind conversation and a listening ear can really boost a veteran’s spirits.
5. Make a donation, of time or money at your local VFW or American Legion.
Ride Safe and enjoy your freedom on this Independence Day.
Salute to you dude.
1.Done
2.Done
3.Ok, I’m gonna do this. Good idea
4.Done…but not as a nursing home or VA. Does this count?
5.Done.
Thanks for the thoughts. Hope your 4th was a great one.

FLHX_Dave,
You’re approved on # 4, any time spent with a vet and a little conversation goes a long way. It does amaze me though the number of veterans/heroes that are forgotten in the local nursing homes.
I had a great 4th, hope yours was the same.
