I've always abhorred the garish combination of red, white and blue on clothing, foods and decorations. It reminds me of patriotism, and patriotism reminds me of Nazi Germany. (I study German history, I can't help it.)
So while I skip the gaudy "Proud to be an American" t-shirts, themed napkins and flag cakes, I hope you have a great holiday. Ponder the things that make it good to be American and dwell on the things that aren't so great about it. Because it's not all butterflies and unicorns in this country, and the more you can question things, complain and find reasons to be appalled with the government, the better off everyone will be.
