May this 4th of July be a spectacular celebration of freedom and patriotism on America's Independence Day, our nation's birthday!
I pray we never forget the actions and sacrifices our Founding Fathers and heroic soldiers made on our behalf - for the physical and spiritual freedoms we enjoy today.
To celebrate and honor America, I’ve gathered together some of the patriotic TV specials that will be airing on this day. See the programs listed below...

Unfortunately, the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will not be airing any of their great patriotic movies on the 4th of July, which I think is such a shame on this important, momentous holiday. The network has so many wonderful inspirational military movies that could've been shown, such as USS Christmas, A Veteran's Christmas, Holiday for Heroes, Love and Sunshine, Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Truth Be Told and The Impossible Dream, and many others.
I hope you all have a wonderful Fourth of July...
As we enjoy all of the parades, fireworks, good foods, and festivities, let us pause and give thanks to God above for all that we enjoy on this important holiday. As our political leaders seek to divide God from any place in government, let us remember how the men who signed the Declaration of Independence leaned on our Creator for their spiritual guidance in those uncertain times. I pray The Lord continues to have mercy on our land and that the people of our nation turn their hearts back to God again.
Happy 4th of July to this incredible site!!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna try to watch a movie I've got stored on my DVR later.
Can't say I'm really surprised to only see Hallmark Drama being the only part of Hallmark showing patriotic movies.
Have an amazing day everyone!

Happy 4th, Everyone! Thank you, Net, for reminding us what the 4th is really all about! I will continue with my tradition of watching the Boston Pops special on Bloomberg TV. It really puts me in the patriotic spirit.
