How about my Morrison Patriot USN
I wanted on of these for a long time since we are a Navy family.
My dad served in WW II and Korea in Naval Air and did my time in VN as a SEAL...
I finally found one in very nice condition with the original gold nib and Richard Binder did a superb job of restoring the filler unit and tuning the nib
The pen now fills and writes as it should and is in my rotation of pens...
It is filled this weekend with Noodlers La Couleur Royale, my favorite blue ink...

What patriotic pen is in your rotation this weekend..

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check Made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in This country who no longer understand it.

Not sure a July-4 thread can stay safely in "other" pens, but here is one for your consideration, no longer "other" ;)

An all custom Parker Duofold (with vintage Duofold clip) by Brad Torelli. He made the plastic and did the machining of course. Rather key pen.

And a very humble 3rd-Tier 1930's pen by Diamond Point: Colors at least of Old Glory.

Independence Day! A nice example by Old Griz of the Morrison Naval Pen.

Here is a piece of Morrison Ephemera that I found several years ago, directed at the troops and the same line of pens,though Army ~

Enjoy your independence on the 4th.
