Patriotism means your devoted to your country. America shows a lot of patriotism on the 4th of July. On the fourth of July my family gathers family and friends. Then my family hosts a canoe trip and picnic for everybody at the Platte River. Then we drive away at the end. At my house we set off fireworks. Then we go to the fireworks at Onekama. I'm sure glad my family is patriotic and there's a fourth of July celebration. I love being an American citizen.

We go for a boat trip with most of Gerald's relatives. We go on the Plat River for about 3 miles. Then we go to the fair and watch fireworks. It's the funiest thing we do every year. I love being an American.

Patriotism means you are devoted to your country. America shows a lot of patriotism on the 4th of July. On the 4th of July me, my mom and dad go to the Coast Guard Station. Then the fire works are done my dad and the people at the Coast Guard Station all salute to the flag. Sometimes there's a horn that goes off when the flag goes up. Sometimes we go to my dad's friend's house. Well at least we did it in Kentucky. One year we did a really fun thing. We played with stink bombs. We put one in a chipmunk hole. That's how we celebrate Patriotism.

Patriotism means you are devoted to your country. America shows a lot of patriotism on the 4th of July. Our family goes to our uncle and aunt's house. Then we wait and then go to the fireworks. Some fireworks are loud. Some are high, and some are low. Our uncle and aunt put out the flags. Our family goes to the parade and the fireworks. The parade is fun because you get beads. Our family is glad we are Americans. Patriotism means I Love America!

Patriotism means you are devoted to your country. America shows a lot of Patriotism on 4th of July. My family celebrates by decorating our house in red, white and blue. In the morning I would wake-up and say the Pledge of Allegiance. We'd then soon go to the fire works. After that we'd do a patriotic craft, watch a TV special, or even play outside. Two hours before the fireworks we would have supper. Then we would leave to go to the beach (for the fireworks). At the end of the day my family and I are tired, but glad to be an American.

It is really fun on the boat and on the hill.

Patriotism means you are devoted to your country. America shows a lot of patriotism on the 4th of July. My family goes to the fireworks every year for the 4th of July. It's a lot of fun. Usually when we get home we pile a mountain of candy, snacks and one of my favorites cotton candy. It's a lot "O" fun. Near around 12:30 I usually say to myself that I can't wait until next year.
