15 Of The Most American Things You Should Do On The 4th Of July
NJ, PA, CT, DE, GA, MD, MA, NH, NY, NC, RI, SC, VA. The real OGs of America.
1. Write a letter to our troops thanking them for their service.
2. Bake an apple pie…or at least eat an apple pie because let’s face it no one knows how to actually bake a pie.
3. Memorize the Declaration of Independence.
4. Force your loved ones to listen to you recite the Declaration of Independence from memory.
5 . Play a game of corn hole in your backyard while Bruce Springsteen’s Born In The USA plays in the background and you drink beer…Budweiser beer.
6. Play The Star Spangled Banner and time fireworks to go off at the exact moment of “And the rockets red glare.”…preferably on the beach.
7. Jack Daniels, Toby Keith and a bonfire.
8. Allow your Dad, Granddad, Uncle, Step-Dad, really any of the men in your life, to tell you the stories of their Glory Days. I mean after all, it doesn’t get much more American than walking uphill both ways.
9. Make red, white and blue jello shots with American Flag SKYY Vodka. Toast to an American President every time you take one.
10. Go fishing, shooting, bull riding or cattle herding all while wearing a cut off flannel and jorts…obviously. (jorts = jean shorts)
11. Watch a baseball game while eating a hot dog…or five because who even eats just one hot dog?
12. Imagine a world without Peanut Butter then be glad you aren’t in Europe.
13. Have a barbecue with burgers and corn on the cob...and hope all of your friends aren't at the beach.
14. Red, White and Blue. Anything.
15. Sit outside in a lawn chair while an American flag sways in the wind above you as you casually drink a PBR and stare at pictures of JFK.
George Washington Crossed the Delaware in winter for America...the least you could do is wear a red, white and blue bathing suit, make an American Flag cake you found on Pinterest and eat a few hot dogs.
