A Patriotic Party Theme is great for any occasion, just make sure that when you raise your flag to follow some basic guide lines. The flag of the United States should be flown daily from sunrise to sunset in good weather from public buildings, schools, permanent staffs, and in or near polling places on election days. The flag may be displayed 24 hours a day on patriotic holidays or if properly illuminated. The flag should always be flown on national and state holidays and on those occasions proclaimed by the President. On Memorial Day, the flag should be half staffed until noon. When the flag is so worn or soiled that it is no longer suitable for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner by burning. A Patriotic Party Theme would not be complete without patriotic songs like: God Bless America, America the Beautiful, Born in the USA, Hero, America, I will Remember You, Battle Hymn of the Republic, You're a Grand Old Flag. The most popular American patriotic song is "Star Spangle Banner" by Francis Scott Key. While you barbecue, sit by the pool, or snuggle next to a warm fire remember the words written by Key, "Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!" Patriotic party supplies like paper plates, napkins, and cups are a perfect way to complete a Patriotic Party Theme. Party decorations like streamers, banners, and note-pads add to the fun of a Patriotic Party Theme. Stars and Stripes loot bags tucked in Uncle Sam hats can be used as a centerpiece and can double as party prizes. Party favors like hats, horns, noise-makers, masks and flags, Pilgrim hats, American cds will create the festive spirit of a Patriotic Party Theme.
