Happy Fourth of July

I received a lot of great responses to my shout-out for help gathering Independence Day stuff.  First off, I thought you'd enjoy these lovely Fourth of July posters.  Each of these jewels has something special to say about what makes our country great.  I will translate the sentiment for you beneath each poster (yes, a few of them are from other holidays, but the designers thought their country of origin would be important, so I'm gonna honor that).

"America:  where you will go to jail if you do this to a cat, even if you try to distract the police with your patriotism."

(source here)

"I was supposed to be the national bird, not that stupid bald vulture.  To eat me would be downright unamerican."

(source here)

"Hawaii is part of America."

(source here)

"The flag is on fire!  And Uncle Sam is prancing!  What kind of a poster is this?!"

(source here)

"Don't forget which country you owe your allegiance to.  Because the rest of us are a bit confused.

(source here)

"Stand by the flag.  Maybe that way no one will notice what you're standing on."

(source here)

"Happy Fourth. I hate you so much I'd like to greet you with a cannon ball."

(source here)

"Greetings.  If you don't show enough ardor for your country you will be burned alive in a patriotic cauldron."

(source here)

 "This is how Uncle Sam started that flag fire.  Beware if you're planning on inviting him to any barbecues."

(source here)

"I swear I'm a flag-waving, country-loving, bald-eagle-kissing Turkey.  Please don't eat me."

(source here)

"Maybe this will finally prove how much I love America."

(source here)

"Kiss me I'm American."

(source here)

"I, the bald eagle, am really starting to wonder whether this little boy is celebrating Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, the Fourth of July, or soliciting money on behalf of Save the Children."

Gosh, these posters make me so proud.  Happy Birthday America!
