Call me old fashioned but I love to show my patriotism, which I can thank my grandfather for. Although he is mostly known around town from his beauty supply store, what most people don\u2019t know is that my grandfather served nine proud years in the United States Navy.<\/p>\n

No matter how you knew him, my grandfather always carried the tradition of showing his American pride, whether it was by attaching a mini American flag to his car antenna, spending time with other veterans, or mailing Patriotic Corporate Cards<\/a><\/strong> to his customers. I learned a lot from him, which is why I carry on a few of his traditions.<\/p>\n

For instance, I proudly show my patriotism by flying my all-weather American flag outside my house whether rain, snow, sleet, or shine. I show my support for veterans by attending our local Memorial Day parade each year. And one of the greatest, and best-tasting, patriot traditions my entire family follows is baking an American flag cake for our 4th of July barbeque, iced with red, white, and blue frosting.<\/p>\n

While some of these traditions may not mean a lot to others, they mean a lot to me. So I will continue to carry them on each and every year. In fact, I feel so inspired right now, I may go out and buy a mini flag for my car antenna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Show your support for the red, white, and blue by flying an American flag, recognizing our veterans, or sending a patriotic greeting card.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-44","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-inspirational-greeting-card-tales","7":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"\nPatriotism and Traditions -
