With a last name like Justice, it seems only fitting and right that our family would be very patriotic. In fact, when I was pregnant with our first child, my husband and I even toyed with the idea of "Liberty Ann" Justice for a girl name! We had a boy, and 2 boys followed, so we never used that name!
I love my country, the United States of America. Yes, when I was teaching, my class did say the Flag Salute daily, along with singing a patriotic song. I always told the kids, "Stand up straight and tall; be proud to be an American!"
I am truly proud to be an American. and I love what the colors of our flag stand for:
- Red - Blood and courage
- white - Purity
- blue - Justice and freedom
Similarly, it just seemed appropriate that I should decorate a room in our home in our nation's beautiful colors - red, white, and blue. That's exactly what I did in my "Star-Spangled" Americana Guest Room! I hope you enjoy the tour!
