Hurray for the USA!
Honor the victory against terrorism

At CherylStyle, our philosophy is “Making Moments Matter” and living life to the fullest. With a newfound spirit of jubilation in our fight against terrorism, it’s important to honor this special victory in our country’s history.
Demonstrations are being held all over the world and people are coming together to celebrate this long-awaited justice, bringing healing and closure. So why not celebrate the moment with a “Hurray for the USA” party?
Fly your American flag high. Bring out your Fourth of July regalia early and decorate your table in a patriotic red, white and blue theme. Serve your guests lamb stew from a crockpot (because this issue has been simmering for a long time). And give them all their just desserts – Cherries Jubilee.
Light sparklers and end the evening with a “We Still Kir” toast, serving Kir Royale cocktails – flutes filled with Champagne, Chambord and fresh raspberries.
And finally, don’t forget to pay tribute to our Ground Zero heroes by contributing to the non-profit FealGood Foundation, whose mission is to educate the public about the catastrophic health effects on 9/11 first responders, and provide assistance to relieve their financial burdens.

Sparklers: At amazon.com. Forty-eight sparklers decorations for less than $20.
