A girl holding a flag at a Fourth of July parade, and two images of a field of grass (one with an old car). The title is from an old Chevy ad campaign from the '70's. I know. I am dating myself, and many will not be old enough to understand the reference.
Thanks for the comments, favorites and thumb.
For anyone interested, here are the two primary images:

This is my favourite of the challenge, and by a handy stretch too. Against the depicted and merely cited patriotic iconography – the stuff of brassy celebrations, of tub-thumping and facile expression – you have juxtaposed a plainly-lovely, contemplative girl (could be a young boy I suppose; doesn't matter). And you've done it in monochrome too! Such wonderful contradictions, such absorbing counterpoint. A work of love and circumspection together. Patriotism for grown-ups, which is just what America needs at the moment. 10. Thank you.
::singing along:: That better not be an earworm! Interesting image, though it doesn't feel as upbeat as the commercials were. Maybe it's the facial expression. Intriguing, though.
