What does the Fourth of July make you think of on this day?

Is it the fireworks, the picnics or is it something else.

F stands for freedom.

O stands for all the opportunities that are offered to us through others sacrifices.

U stands for the understanding of what the flag means.

R stands for the reasons we live the way we live.

T stands for the truth behind the flag.

H stands for the home of the brave.

O stands for the outstanding bravery of all of us in these times.

F stands for fireworks that show the victory of battle.

J stands for not judging others.

U stands for the ultimate sacrifices we all make.

L stands for loyalty to family, friends, and others.

Y stands for YOU.
