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 32 - DAILY HISTORY (DRUGS) - JUNE 25, 2010





GEORGE H.W. BUSH, JAN. 20, 1989, INAUGURAL:

We as a society must rise up united and express our intolerance.
The most obvious now is drugs. And when that first cocaine was
smuggled in on a ship, it may as well have been a deadly bacteria, so
much has it hurt the body, the soul of our country. And there is much
to be done and to be said, but take my word for it: This scourge will
stop! And so, There is much to do; and tomorrow the work begins. I do
not mistrust the future; I do not fear what is ahead. For our problems
are large, but our heart is larger. Our challenges are great, but our will
is greater. And if our flaws are endless, God’s love is truly
boundless...God bless you and God bless the United States of America.
