American Flags on the Fourth of July

American flags flying in the summer breeze are a familiar sight on the Fourth of July in the Lowcountry.

Our family's back porch is a favorite place to celebrate the USA's birthday 232 years ago.

As we enjoy hot dogs, watermelon, and corn on the cob, we'll be thinking of the men and women who are serving in our country's armed forces to preserve the Founding Fathers ideals in the Declaration of Independence ."...We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness..."
Happy 4th of July.
