The Cities of Merriam and Shawnee, Kansas will display more than 3,000 American flags during "Flags for Freedom" from June 26 to July 5, 2010.
We encourage everyone to stop at 2:00 PM Central Time on the Fourth of July and sing the National Anthem as a celebration of our freedom and expression of our gratitude to those who protect and defend it.
We hope to coordinate with other Fourth of July celebrations as well as individuals. You can sing from a party, your home, car, or wherever you might be. We're also hoping to work with radio and TV stations to play the "Star Spangled Banner" at that time.
It would be inspiring and appropriate for all of our voices to be raised together to celebrate the Country in which we are fortunate to live and have the right to express our diverse opinions.
