Top 4 Holidays To Celebrate With A Winchester Signal Cannon
When we Americans celebrate a holiday, we do it in style and we do it in a big way. The top four holidays when we celebrate in booming ways are Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and New Years. At holidays we invite family, friends, and neighbors. These events usually include food and drink, and all of them include a raucous element that is loud and bright.
Independence Day: Parades, Fireworks, And Cannon Blasts
On July fourth we celebrate Independence Day in a big boisterous way. We proudly wear red, white, and blue and line main street to watch the parade. Back at home we fire up the grill or stoke the barbecue and enjoy a meal with friends, family, and neighbors. We pitch horse shoes, take a toss at corn hole, or maybe some touch football or a killer game of croquet. The day is punctuated with firecrackers and kids twirling sparklers. At night, we gather and look to the sky for fireworks. By why wait until night to start making some noise? A Winchester Model 98 Signal Cannon allows you to make loud noise and celebrate like our forefathers—and mothers—intended through out the day and well into the night.
Memorial Day: A Solemn Occasion and 21-Gun Salute
Our nation reserves the last Monday in May for Memorial Day when we honor our deceased service men and women. We remember the ultimate sacrifice of those who served and died preserving our freedom. Many of us display the flag or attend a parade to honor soldiers while wearing the colors of our flag: red, white and blue. Some of us may visit a cemetery and lay flowers on servicemen’s graves as a way to remember them. Others chose to salute are fallen veterans by firing off a cannon. The Winchester Model 98 Signal Cannon is an appropriate way to honor our fallen. A 21-gun salute is fired by the US Military at noon on Memorial Day. A solemn way to commemorate Memorial Day or honor a family member who made the ultimate sacrifice is to fire the Model 98.
Veterans Day: Thank You For Your Service With A Cannon Salute
Veterans Day is observed annually on November 11. It is the opportunity to thank a veteran for their service and celebrate patriotism, love of country, and the sacrifice for the common good. In 1918 after World War I, the Great War and the war to end all wars, President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11 as Armistice Day and it “be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service.” After World War II the day was renamed Veterans Day. We used Veterans Day to thank and honor all who have served. Parades, wreath-laying ceremonies at cemeteries, a moment of silence, and a 21-gun salute are all part of this patriotic day. In addition to saying thank you to a veteran, the firing of a salute cannon is an appropriate way to acknowledge our veterans. The Winchester Model 98 Signal Cannon is a dignified way of honoring all our men and women who have served.
New Years: Ring In The New Year With A Cannon Blast
Families and friends gather on New Years to party, feast, toast, and kiss at midnight. It is out with old and in with the new. We have the tradition of watching the ball dropping in Times Square, we also have a tradition of shooting off fireworks, blowing into noise makers, and creating pure merriment with confetti and streamers. A Winchester Model 98 Signal Cannon is the perfect way to celebrate the New Year with a bang. Old Model 98 is ready to make some noise and celebrate.
