Patriotic Christmas Ornaments - Be Proud of the USA

Add a patriotic ornament to your Christmas tree to show your support for the United States of America and the men and women who are fighting and who have fought for her.

Every country is proud of their flag. But ever since Francis Scott Key watched the bombardment of Fort McHenry and wrote the Star Spangled Banner, Americans have had an all out love affair with the Stars and Stripes. The Iwo Jima flag raising continued the love fest. Even sports events, such as the 1980 USA Miracle on Ice Olympic Hockey match win over Russia in Lake Placid, evoked flag passion - with goalie Jim Craig draping himself in an American flag before circling the ice in a victory lap.

Combine the American bald eagle with the flag and you've got a perennial symbol for the resiliant American spirit that loves its freedom and is willing to fight for it.

So put on your patriotic flag shirt and hum God Bless America while you decorate your Christmas tree. There's nothing in the patriotic rule book that says red,white and blue is only for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. I mean Veteran's Day is November 11th after all. You can put any of these ornaments on your Christmas tree. You could also have a tabletop ornaments tree that you use to make a patriotic statement. If you're hosting a holiday party and a returning soldier will be attending, you could honor them by having a patriotic ornament centerpiece. It would be very effective and easy to take red, white and blue round ball ornaments and add a few flag ornaments. A very festive way to say Thank You.

We are a young and emotional country. When we Pledge Allegiance to the Flag we put our hand over our heart. So it should be no surprise to anyone that we love to take hearts and put red, white and blue on them. These are actually very versatile designs. Use them as decorations at Christmas time, on Memorial Day or at the Fourth of July picnic.

If you love angel decor or collect angels, rest easy that angels have their place in American patriotic decorations. You'll love the beautiful patriotic angel ornaments designed by Jim Shore.
