This year’s theme, Stars, Stripes & Summer, captures the essence of American pride and community spirit. The stars and stripes symbolize our flag, honoring our nation’s independence, our service members, freedom, and unity. Summer represents a time of celebration—a season filled with sunshine, backyard barbecues, family gatherings, and festive community events. Together, they create a perfect backdrop for a fun, meaningful celebration where everyone can come together to enjoy good food, great company, and patriotic pride under starry summer skies.
