The town of North Pole hosts its annual 4th of July parade and festival.
It may not be a Norman Rockwell scene, but Americana is alive and well in this community.
There are those who are less enthusiastic about being patriotic, though they have no difficulty enjoying the freedoms and benefits of being a citizen of the US, a country that foreign nationals have risked their lives to access and would never take for granted.
In a time when it’s less and less accepted, much less admired, to love this country, I find this little town’s sense of nationalism laudable.
