My husband was due home from a six-month tour in Afghanistan, and my kids and I were so excited. In fact, we had planned a party for the night of his return. We invited more than 35 guests. It was going to be a grand blow out.

At first we had thought of decorating using a camouflage motif, but we soon changed our minds and decided to go with some traditional patriotic home decor. I started getting the house ready by hanging a huge American flag on the front door. Next, I hung a ton of red, white and blue streamers around the house and in the yard. I put out a few glass vases of beautiful red roses on the entry way table. And I asked all of the guests to wear the colors of the flag and even to dress as patriotic figures if they liked. My husband was so surprised when he got home. He loved it!
