As we approach July 4th, I've begun thinking about financial moves that are patriotic and profitable. Buying municipal and federal bonds - even savings bonds - is a lay up. Of course, the "Buy American" movement is also on the table, but that didn't turn out too well for GM and Chrysler (among other issues).

I recently saw an exhibit at the Museum of American Finance displaying WWII war bonds with Disney characters on them. Not only could you support the war effort and get paid for it, you could do it under the watchful eye of Sleepy and Sneezy.

A recent post at the Business Insider - http://www.businessinsider.com/buying-american-2009-6 - on how to make "Buy American" cool got me thinking, what types of money moves might we make for patriotic reasons that are either profitable or foolish?
