Happy Birthday America!

I hope you all have a very nice 4th of July weekend! Whether you are able to visit family and friends, enjoy some barbecue, a picnic, desserts and fireworks or simply take some time to relax, I pray we all remember the reason we celebrate this day… our Military and our Freedom! This year I believe having our freedoms and living in a land of democracy and security means even more.

When I hear our National Anthem play, I am filled with gratefulness as I think of all of the sacrifices made by our military and their families, so we can be free today.

To celebrate and honor America, I’ve gathered together some of the specials, festivities, movies, and more- that will be airing this weekend on TV. See them all below...

    1. Not sure about "A Kiss at Pine Lake," but "When Sparks Fly" and "Love & Sunshine" aired previously this week. It's too bad both of these patriotic movies couldn't play during the actual holiday weekend.

  2. Great to see A Veteran's Christmas again, such a heart-warming movie and Eloise Mumford and Sean Faris really complement each other.

    It's not often that Hallmark catches me out - the ending took me by surprise, I can't believe I didn't see it coming!

    But I'm even more excited to see that there are 3 new films scheduled for August!

    1. Awww... I know just what you mean. I love every detail about "A Veteran's Christmas" and the easy, sweet, slow romance between Eloise Mumford and Sean Faris. It's such a favorite of mine too! I instantly fell in love with it!

      Also, YES, that's right... THREE New "Summer Nights" movies (so far!) are coming in August to the Hallmark Channel!

      Romance in the Air - August 1, 2020

      Love on Harbor Island - August 8, 2020

  7. This is a great compilation of American-themed shows, Net. I've been kind of sad because many of our nearby towns aren't putting on the traditional fireworks display we usually attend each year with friends and family. I don't know if it's the virus or fear of riots. But, we will still celebrate at home and watch fireworks on TV.

    1. Hello Anna! Glad to hear from you! I know this year was quite different for a lot of people.

      Our local town was one of the few places for miles that put up a big fireworks display, so we were still able to enjoy it and some normalcy. That was nice, but my, it was a HOT one! Wow!

      Glad there were lots of fireworks on TV for you to watch - hope you enjoyed them with your family!

    1. Amen to that! God Bless the USA, indeed!

      I thought this new rendition of "God Bless the USA" with Lee Greenwood, Home Free and The United States Air States Air Force Band was truly inspiring and if gets people singing that beautiful song again, then maybe, hopefully, more people will feel that uplifting message in their hearts!

    1. Karen T., I agree 100%! This is a holiday that a lot people just see as simply fun and fireworks, but the true meaning is so deep. I'm with you, completely - we can never forget the sacrifices that were/are made so we can be free today and we must never take it for granted. We must always be thankful and thank God for our freedom!

      Bless you! Hope you also had a nice 4th of July!

  10. Thank you for this guide, Net. Everything about this year has been different. I feel like we've been skipping over every holiday. You can't be with family or friends still and most of firework shows are cancelled. I guess I'll be watching my fireworks on TV this year. Rick

    1. Hi Rick! I know just what you mean about holidays this year... from Easter, Birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and now the 4th of July. Each Holiday has been different at our home, too.

      I'm sorry your local fireworks were cancelled. That's no fun. I hope you did, at least, enjoy some of the fireworks on TV. They were certainly amazing over Mt. Rushmore, the U.S. Capitol, White House, etc...
