Recently, I have read comments about the USA not being what it used to be and that folks have lost their patriotism etc. Well, it is alive and well in Utah!

Oh boy, a great big amen to this post, Rescuer!!! Jim and his barbershop chorus sing God Bless America and it gives me goosebumps and tears....
I have an audio file of it, but don't know how to share it.......

You could put it on your website. There really isn't a way to do it here.

Wish you could have heard my G daughter sing God Bless America at church Sunday. Not a dry eye iin church afterwards..We fly the red, white and blue and are proud of it. No prejudice in this family,only love of God,fellowman and country./Lillian

I would love to have been there!

Nice to see some good old fashioned Patriotism, without showing racism. We live in Australia but my husband has relatives who live in Utah.

It is desert dry here and we are in a drought right now -- but I love the mountains!

I believe the majority of the USA citizens still love & honor their country & flag. But it seems the misfits that burn our flag, etc get so much media coverage. Yes, it's not like it was when we were young children...but I pray it will remain "the land of the free."

When I was young the Vietnam issue was getting started...I remember a lot of folks getting media attention then too. I don't know that there are more now than then...just FaceBook to help everyone see it faster now.
I am thankful for the sacrifices made so we could be free (even if it means some seem to abuse that privilege)

I so worry about the USA going down the tubes like Greece. How do we unite?

wonderful stuff thanks from Canada Carolyn

So touching. That made my heart swell with pride for my country, my freedom and the God that gave them to me.

That is awesome :-)

Very moving! The little island we live on still celebrate with a parade and lunch, honoring the men who have served and are serving. Thanks for sharing.

Many communities in our area also celebrate the holiday and honor those that have served!

I am Canadian and these video's brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for posting them, they are amazing.

I love hearing and seeing pictures of folks who honor our wonderful country who has done so much for so many. It is ingrained in me to stand and show respect for our beautiful flag by putting my hand over my heart. But I have seen too many pictures of students and adults doing terrible things also. I am very glad to also live in a place where respect is shown and so many enter the military.

Your links don't work. I always have trouble with Youtube links.
This is a great post and in my small community we post flags to cover the courthouse lawnfor every Holiday to show patriotism. There is a mega flag draped from the overhead bridge on the interstate and I only saw a very few that were not dressed in red, white and/or blue. I think patriotism is alive and well for the majority of United State Citizens.
This photo is a shot of just a small offering of the flags.
