I love holidays and here we have another opportunity to celebrate one.

I especially love patriotic holidays because most people with dementia identify strongly with patriotism.

Even though Patriot’s Day is a lesser known holiday, there is no reason why you can not celebrate in grand or not so grand fashion.

As with all patriotic holidays,discuss symbols of patriotism.

I like to have a flag available. American Polyester Flags
Then I like to ask questions about the flag.
Here are some possible questions
*What color is the flag or are on the flag?
        Side question
            What other things are:
                  Red
                   White and/or
                     Blue ?
*What shape is the flag?
          Side question:
             What other things are that shape?
Again if these questions are too hard then………Come back tomorrow for the answer and for more ideas.
