The Fourth of July is a wonderful time to celebrate all things American, and to remember the valor of the heroes that fought for the country’s independence. While we all hope that what they fought for will always stand, we remain tactically prepared to guard against the enemies of freedom. For those who live the tactical lifestyle or have loved ones in uniform, it is a day that holds especially deep meaning.
Celebrate the Fourth of July in patriotic gear. Show off your pride with military style morale patches. Find inspiring veteran gifts to give to the fighting Americans in your family circle. Free America from the lazy and uninspired, go tactical!
WHY THE FOURTH OF JULY MATTERS IN THE TACTICAL COMMUNITY
Independence Day holds great significance to all Americans. So of course it is incredibly important to tactical pros. Talk about a bunch of fellas who love to wave the American flag! And barbecue, of course! What’s more Fourth of July than that?
We’d love to offer up barbecuing tips, but unfortunately, grilling is not what this resource blog is all about! But we can help you celebrate the holiday with suggestions of patriotic gear and veteran gifts you can get. The Fourth of July is a day to honor the soldiers who battled to win this country’s freedom. We’re all about commemorating that, not only with flags but tactical readiness.
That’s what sets us apart from everyone else celebrating this proud day. We’re celebrating, too, but we’re also in full readiness—staying mission-capable even during this happy-go-lucky time. We’re not ones to let our guard down, no sir! You get it, don’t you? Fighting for the USA is one neverending commitment. This may not be a time of war, but we’re still gonna maintain our fighting spirit!
PATRIOTIC GEAR TO SHOW YOUR TACTICAL COLORS
That’s why we bring out our tactical gear on the Fourth of July. It’s patriotic to show that we stand with the defenders of the nation’s freedom. We stand with the American troops, we stand with our veterans, we stand with the people who have embraced this country’s ideals. We also stand with those who look cool and wear cool stuff! Like morale patches that speak of that great military heritage: belligerent USA pride!
Here are some recommendations for patriotic gear on Independence Day:
MORALE PATCHES WITH MEANING. These delightful badges are great for displaying patriotism coupled with a whole lotta attitude! Morale patches have long been popular with the rank and file of the US military. They’re cheeky, irreverent displays of camaraderie between soldiers. Simply sporting these patches connects you to a proud military tradition. But you don’t have to be a service member or veteran to enjoy them. Morale patches blare out these cool, funny, rib-tickling messages that can make anyone laugh!
PATRIOTIC TACTICAL BACKPACKS AND POUCHES. A backpack is not necessarily the ideal piece of gear to be sporting American flag colors. It’s certainly an option, if you want it, but we feel that the value of the tactical backpack may rely on its unobtrusiveness to some degree. For the Fourth of July, you can arrange the flag colors as panels held in place by the MOLLE system of the backpack. That’s a smart way to show your patriotic colors on Independence Day without permanently altering the appearance of the backpack. Another thing you can do is decorate a tactical backpack with morale patches. More morale patches? Yeah, ain’t nothing wrong with even more morale patches!
APPAREL FOR OUTDOOR CELEBRATION AND TACTICAL ACTION. Wearing tactical clothing to the Fourth of July barbecue? That can work. Today’s tactical clothes can easily blend into the casual wear you see on everyone else. The difference largely lies in the materials used. You can easily find tactical shirts and pants made of light, breathable fabrics and in the right celebratory colors. Add a bit more flair with an American flag cap or a flag pin. Perhaps a patriotic buff. You’ll be right at home in anyone’s backyard event, while also being prepared to take action in case you encounter a threat or an emergency.
TOP GIFT IDEAS FOR VETERANS AND SERVICE
MEMBERS
Is gift giving really a Fourth of July tradition? We’re making it one! We’re not talking about big, extravagant gifts here. We’re talking small yet meaningful tokens of appreciation one can give to the service member or veteran in your familial circle. It’s Independence Day and it’s a happy day, but you can give them another reason to smile!
CUSTOM PATCH SETS. Morale patches would bring a smile to anyone’s face! They’re patriotic, they’re of military origin, they’re smart and spirited and funny. You can use tactical patches to personalize your gear, or display a collection of them in a framed, wall-mounted case. A set of morale patches can share a particular theme that means a lot to the receiver of your gift. Some ideas: A set inspired by a specific military unit. A set with highly patriotic designs and colors. A set of patches with wise and pithy quotes and slogans. If they’re a fan of Top Gun, how about a Top Gun themed set for the real life maverick in your friend group?
HIGH PERFORMANCE TACTICAL APPAREL. We stand by this principle: Tactical clothes make for awesome gifts! They’re practical and durable—even if you use them all the time, they’ll be hardly the worse for wear. They’ll be great to have on an outdoor adventure in the summer. Let them see you wearing something tactical at a Fourth of July outdoor celebration. They’re sure to appreciate your choice of tactical apparel and want their own, too. That’s when you hand them the gift you got them!
COMMEMORATIVE TACTICAL ACCESSORIES. What’s cooler than a stylish tactical knife? One with the owner’s name engraved on it! Laser-engraved tools and knives can be admirable presents. Similarly, you can give a personalized American-made watch.
