Jacksonville and Pensacola come to mind. Both have a well established military presence that blends in well with civilians. Jacksonville and surrounding St. Johns and Clay Counties especially have a large number of retired military. Both are also conservative Christian/Baptist areas.

Keep this about FL.. The OP is looking for a city/area in FL. This isnot the correct forum to discuss national political views

Any site that would consider "celebration" an all-American town is suspect. I believe that to be all-American a town has to have a strong LOCAL economy, no restrictions on freedom, and people of all economic classes. Elitist HOA and over-regulated planned communities are anti-American, communist by my definition. You would have had no problem finding an all-American city in Florida 40 years ago. Today, forget about it.

Why is it that if an American is proud of his or her heritage and country they are accused of being racist?

To answer the OP, Brooksville in Hernando County is nice. Brooksville was sttled in 1845. In 2000 it was voted Florida's outstanding rural community. I am not sure who got the honor the last few years.

The High Schools here all have a large JR ROTC class. My sons school has over 700 students in ROTC out of about 2000 students.

The Marine Corp Detachment, VFW and other groups are involved in the community. The 171st Aviation Battalion of the Florida National Guard is based here.

I wouldn't say this is the most all american city in Florida but it is very nice here.

Delray Beach is considered the "All-American City".

where I live right now, you hardly ever see an american flag, and if you put one up, its sure to get torn down, the Vet's memorial has been vandelized many times. a couple months ago someone spray painted "I love Bin Laden" on it.

last sept. 11th there were people having parties celebrating the attacks

it makes me sick to see stuff like that, i love Americas history, I have have great respect for our Vet's.

around here America just gets trashed
I am looking for a place where the people who live there would never stand for stuff like that
You must live in Orlando. This is the least All American city I have lived in. 90% of the flags here are either Puerto Rico or Mexico. There's very little patriotism in Orlando.
