  • Each patriotic holiday—Memorial Day, July 4th and others when we remember—my wife and I hang a semi-circular, stars-and-stripes bunting above our garage door. It’s about six feet across, looks great and conveys the same message of love of country as the standard flag.

  • We have an American flag that we proudly display outside our home.

  • I volunteer in my neighborhood or at other local events that support my community.

  • I do not go in for a lot of external displays or symbols of patriotism. My approach is to identify traits that embody the best in the American character and try to emulate or live up to those qualities.
