This DIY Patriotic Gnomes craft is a fun way to celebrate Memorial Day, Labor Day, and the Fourth of July.
It’s a fitting day for red, white, and blue. First, to honor the past and all who fought for the freedoms we now enjoy.
But also to reflect on what we must do now to help guide those freedoms to benefit and protect all.

Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.
