Pledge of Allegiance of the United States

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Today it reads:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."

DAY 7 - DAILY PRAYER (MEMORIAL DAY) - MAY 31, 2010






Patriotism is remembering the past, respecting the present and preparing for the future.
Patriotism is not what you say, it's what you do.
Patriotism is awe and wonder at what is and what can be.
Patriotism is a " can do" attitude.
Patriotism is taking part, not copping out.
Patriotism is duty and diligence.
Patriotism is an appreciation of peace and a willingness to defend it .

"Dear Lord , "For Such A time as this" in Our history of Government in USA  the right kind of Patriotism is needed more than ever.  Lets us all consider it's cost. And more than that be willing to pay that price to bring USA back to her foundation of Truth ,Honor and Courage to do the right thing to keep her Free.
