When
it comes to the United States of America, several images automatically come to
mind. This includes the Statue of Liberty, apple pie, the bald eagle, pickup
trucks, and of course, Old Glory. If you are throwing a celebration with a
patriotic theme, such as an event for the 4th of July, Veteran’s
Day, or Memorial Day, then consider adding memorial bunting to the scenery for
a truly patriotic vibe that has red, white, and blue written all over it.
Buntings
are typically placed alongside a wall and especially underneath a window,
though they can also be strung on a fence or on the side of a vehicle. How you
use them is not even as important as much as why you use them. The point is to
convey love for your country. It’s a statement expressing that while this
nation may not be perfect, it is still one of the best places to live. It also
serves as a reminder that many men and women in uniform have died defending
what the flag stands for.
When
it comes to memorial bunting, the most common variety is the one that comes in
the same colors as the US flag. There are also those that come in the color of black and purple, which signifies mourning and is used during military burials or
honoring the nation’s fallen heroes. If you want to truly honor those who made
the ultimate sacrifice, then this form of bunting can be used alongside the
American flag and other decorative insignias that pay homage to fallen US
troops.
A
memorial bunting is far more than just decoration. It has a meaning that runs
deeply in the veins of all proud Americans. It’s a reminder that the freedom we
enjoy comes at the price of those who serve afar and return home in a
flag-draped coffin. Let the bunting be a reminder that America stands for
principles that should never be taken for granted.
