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 36 - DAILY HISTORY (SALVATION) - JUNE 29, 2010






ANDREW JACKSON, SEP. 11, 1834, TO SON, ANDREW, JR:


I nightly offer up my prayers to the Throne of Grace for the
health and safety of you all, and that we ought all to rely with confidence
on the promises of our dear Redeemer, and give Him our hearts. This
is all He requires and all that we can do, and if we sincerely do this, we
are sure of salvation through his atonement.
