I say 6 as well.
Lori Winston June 30, 2012 at 12:47 pm
Patriotism can be expressed in many ways. I vote for all of them.
travon black June 30, 2012 at 01:08 pm
No Black American pics! Blacks Americans love America also.
Fran Coghlan June 30, 2012 at 01:14 pm
#2, the bald headed eagle and the US flag have been signs of American Patriotism in all the books I’ve read. Also, they look great together!
Barbara HInkle June 30, 2012 at 01:39 pm
hard coice but it has to be # 2
Ike June 30, 2012 at 02:00 pm

laura gallo June 30, 2012 at 02:11 pm
Love all the pictures, but #2 represents American Patriotism.
Eva Pastor June 30, 2012 at 02:31 pm

Susan Sokoloski June 30, 2012 at 04:46 pm
The eagle and the flag represent ALL of us - patriotism is colorblind !!
Caroline Scavuzzo June 30, 2012 at 06:22 pm
#4 is so cool but I would have to say the eagle (#2) too.
Franca Cole June 30, 2012 at 09:51 pm
#12 What a beautiful dog!

Photos were submitted this week during our submission period. All photos that were submitted during that time are eligible to win.
The contest is open to photos of people of any color or photos that are not of people. I would encourage you to check on our nominations story published each Monday and if you have a photo you'd like to submit, please do. If you feel you know someone with a great photo, please let them know about it. We'd love to have more entries in each and every contest.

#2 The combination of our flag and our national bird in real life with the eagle so proud can't be beat.
Bill Ewing June 30, 2012 at 11:50 pm
#6. It's real; it's human. I bet #2 was photoshopped.
Jim Salvas July 1, 2012 at 12:37 am
FYI -- Number 2 was not photoshopped, other than to adjust the contrast. It was taken in Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, in Florida. The bald eagle pen has a flag in it.
Bill Ewing July 1, 2012 at 01:32 am
Thanks, Jim. My apologies for suggesting it was photoshopped. It is a really nice picture, but personally I would rather not choose a picture of a captive eagle as best patriotic picture. I like the apparent spontaneity of #6.
Earnest July 1, 2012 at 01:38 am
I'm voting for number 10 one of two actual people that served the United States of America and clearly saw action as he received the purple heart.
Babies are cute dressed up in the symbolic red white and blue. Children are cute when they dress up and decorate their bikes (with obvious help of their talented parents, and dogs look stately next to our Flag, as do groups of flags and and a statue or stuffed eagle. American citizens coming out for an event are also patriotic. However, it seems to me that the true patriotic picture is the man in the uniform that was out there being shot at and having the duty to kill other human beings, caught in a moment of peace during a time of war.

final choice # 10 also. He represents so many WW II soldiers who served their country all over the world. We owe them so much! (agree the kids and animals are cute-if the vote was for cute. ...)
Vanessa S July 1, 2012 at 02:32 am
#6 -that little boy is holding that flag high & looking at it with eyes of both innocence and splendor.
Ann Cavanaugh July 1, 2012 at 11:55 am
There are several that deserve a vote but I vote for # 18.
Louise DiDonato July 1, 2012 at 12:55 pm
#6 just caught my eye. The look on his face as he gazed upward, so proudly, at the flag. He is a symbol of our future.
Brian McCarthy July 1, 2012 at 03:24 pm
#6, my next favorite is #15
christine Charnosky July 1, 2012 at 06:57 pm
I'd say #6. I like the innocence of it (and I'm voting against myself!?) just to go with the "majority."
christine Charnosky July 1, 2012 at 07:01 pm
Thanks, Earnest. My dad was very proud of his service as am I. He actually was in the Battle of the Bulge! He loved to talk about the war. Two of his brothers served in WWII as well, and they all came home safely! His son (my brother) served in Vietnam, and as you can see by the photo, Edward's grandson (my nephew) is currently a Marine. Unfortunately, my father passed before seeing his grandson join the Marines; I'm sure he would be pleased.
christine Charnosky July 1, 2012 at 07:02 pm
Also, Marion1, thank you! (see comment I just wrote below Earnest's post)
Lindsay at Flag Lady Gifts July 2, 2012 at 02:52 pm
#3. A slice of American patriots.
Courtney Rostand July 2, 2012 at 02:52 pm
oh wait, maybe #17...? lol. interesting.
Cher July 2, 2012 at 05:32 pm
6...reminds me of my grandson. : )

Thank you proving that Democrats love to defend higher taxes (vs the resultant lower taxes from theRead More lower budget offered by others). Enough said.
Catherine June 12, 2013 at 03:53 am
Glad the Dems are realistically planning for the future. It's also encouraging to know that all ofRead More the candidates actually have children in the public schools. Can't say the same about the Republican ticket which sure says something....
Charlie D. June 18, 2013 at 08:05 am
Gee Catherine perhaps you could explain & list the "realistic" plans in the Dem budgetRead More that were excluded from the Repub budget. Would also be interested to know why having children in Radnor Schools is a good thing....I'd rather have representatives who have pertinent experience and perhaps have grown children who have already been through Radnor....do senior executives or Board members of corporations have children in their company's? What is the benefit to the school children or the Township?
