Waving the flag on the Fourth of July is only one way to celebrate pride in our country. There are many other days (Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Veteran’s Day or any day) and many other ways to honor the USA. Kathy Ross offers clearly illustrated step-by-step instructions for an array of patriotic projects based not only on our flag but also on other symbols such as the American Eagle, Uncle Sam, the Statue of Liberty, and the Liberty Bell.
