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.

WARREN G. HARDING, MAY 3, 1921, NATIONAL MEMORIAL
DAY PROCLAMATION:


Whereas this nation has been conceived in prayer and devotion
by men and women who were moved under God to found a nation
where principles of right should form the lasting cornerstone; and
Whereas there principles purchased at the price of great sacrifice have
been fostered by a worthy posterity...I...invite my fellow citizens to
pay homage on this day to a noble dead who sleep in homeland, beneath
the sea or on foreign field that we who survive might enjoy the blessings
of peace and happiness.

America Mourns

As a people, we have seen such tragedy in this nation.  From oil laden waters, to towns destroyed by tornadoes.  We each have known great suffering, sorrow, and loss in one way or another.  As a nation, we must seek the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and the healing of JEHOVAH-ROPHE - "The Lord Who Heals" Ex. 15:22-26. From "rophe" ("to heal"); implies spiritual, emotional as well as physical healing. (Jer. 30:17, 3:22; Isa. 61:1) God heals body, soul and spirit; all levels of man's being.

DAY 6 - DAILY HISTORY (MOURNING) - MAY 30, 2010






GEORGE W. BUSH, SEP. 14, 2001, NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER
& REMEMBRANCE, NATIONAL CATHEDRAL:


This world He created is of moral design. On this national day
of prayer and remembrance, we ask almighty God to watch over our
nation, and grant us patience and resolve in all that is to come. We
pray that He will comfort and console those who now walk in sorrow.
We thank Him for each life we now must mourn, and the promise of a
life to come. As we have been assured, neither death nor life, nor
angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to
come, nor height nor depth, can separate us from God’s love. 
May He bless the souls of the departed. May He comfort our own. 
And may He always guide our country. God bless America.
