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 30 - DAILY HISTORY (ENEMIES) - JUNE 23, 2010







FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, JAN. 6, 1942, STATE OF THE
UNION:


Our enemies are guided by brutal cynicism, by unholy
contempt for the human race. We are inspired by a faith which goes
back through all the years to the first chapter of the Book of Genesis
- “God created man in His own image.” We on our side are striving to
be true to that Divine heritage. We are fighting, as our fathers have
fought, to uphold the doctrine that all men are equal in the sight of
God. Those on the other side are striving to destroy this deep belief
and to create a world in their own image, a world of tyranny and cruelty
and serfdom.
