       Decorations are seen here, there, and everywhere on Independence Day/4th of July, President's Day, Memorial Day and Veteran's Day in the United States. How beautifully the flags and streamers look as they wave in the breeze. All the houses and streets are nostalgic with red, white and blue bunting. We listen with a thrill of patriotic excitement to the marching bands and watch parades pass down our neighborhood streets with enthusiasm. 
       The spirit of freedom fills the very air we breath. Whiz! zip! bang! go the fireworks. The noise is enchanting and the smell of powder brings back so many memories.
       All of our national, patriotic holidays in the United States are celebrated with similar traditions. These celebrations, from early morning through late in the evening, give ample opportunities for fireworks, games, sport and food. And American girls and boys can join in the fun with their dolls too!
