Showing Your Love and Appreciation for the U.S. this Independence Day

“America was not built on fear; America was built on courage, on imagination, and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.” — Harry S. Truman

America is a melting pot of different cultures. It’s a country that knows no bounds when it comes to civic freedoms. A place where individuals can be free to be whoever they choose to be. And a land that provides a myriad of opportunities for not just its people, but for others as well.

And since Independence Day is just around the corner, most of us are wondering: what can we do to show our beloved country just how much we love and appreciate it?

Watch Films that Encourage Your Love for America

Movies like Saving Private Ryan, Apollo 13, 1776, Lincoln, the Captain America Series, and Born on Fourth of July are just some of the many films that bring out the patriot in us.

Add them to your list and spend time with your family relaxing and enjoying your day off. If you have kids, it’s also a great way to teach them about our great nation. It’ll instill a sense of pride in them and help them learn more about what a great country we live in.

Connect With a Soldier or Veteran

Our nation is the home of the brave and land of the free because our soldiers work hard to ensure that it is. This Independence Day, reach out to a veteran or soldier. Spend time with them and make their holiday wonderful and unforgettable.

You can invite them over for a barbeque or even dinner. They’ll appreciate the gesture. Our soldiers make up only 1 percent of the country. Yet, they risk their lives to protect 99% of the population.
