 Not
everyone gives 4th of July gifts. For some, the only occasions for
presents are Christmas and birthdays. But think about it this way:
the 4th of July is like the birthday of our country!
Generally, on birthdays, you give presents to the birthday person.
Well, I suggest that you do the same with your 4th of July gifts
– your 4th of July gifts should go directly to the country.
So, what are some good examples of 4th of July gifts?
• Adopt-a-highway – gather your company family, a church
group, a club, or any other group and adopt a section of the highway.
Adopt-a-highway programs differ from state to state, but one example
is that you have to adopt a section of the highway that is at least
2 miles in length for at least 2 years, and you must pick up litter
at least three times a year.
• Maybe the commitment required with adopt-a-highway is something
you are two excited about… just go out and pick up litter!
Pick it up around your neighborhood, at a park, on the beach, in
the mountains, etc.
• Plant a tree.
• Educate youth about the environment. There are many opportunities
to educate youth about taking care of the environment and thereby
taking care of our country. Even if you just teach your children
or maybe even their friends, it can really help.
• Educate others about voting and the government. Our country
is founded on a great constitution that promotes a great government.
Of course, one of the things that makes our government so great
is the fact that we can participate in it. Make sure that you participate
in our government and encourage others too, as well. Be sure to
vote, learn more about the constitution, attend a town meeting,
etc.
• Volunteer with a local non-profit organization for the day!
Helped disabled or underprivileged kids. Read a book to an elderly
person. Help clean up the youth center. Do whatever you can to help
others in your community. Nothing is better for a country than citizens
who are united in a cause to make the country better by bettering
themselves and their neighbors.
• Join the army! All right, so maybe you do not want to join
the army, but you can show support for troops by donating time or
money. Check with your state and see how you can support our troops.
• Be happy! Our country is founded upon the idea that you
should be able to pursue your own happiness. Nothing could make
our country happier than having happy citizens.
These are just a few possible 4th of July gifts that you may want
to consider. Of course, some other great 4th of July gifts include
watermelon, hot dogs, fireworks, and red-white-&-blue cakes!
