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."

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen

MILLARD FILLMORE, DEC. 6, 1852, 3RD ANNUAL
MESSAGE:


Our grateful thanks are due to an all-merciful Providence,
not only for staying the pestilence which in different forms has
desolated some of our cities, but for crowning the labors of the
husbandman with an abundant harvest and the nation generally
with the blessings of peace and prosperity...
We owe these blessings, under Heaven, to the happy
Constitution and Government which were bequeathed to us by
our fathers, and which it is our sacred duty to transmit in all
their integrity to our children.

DAY 26 - DAILY PRAYER (PROTECTION) - JUNE 19, 2010






National Protection

Most High God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus, asking for divine protection for the people of this country. I pray for the safety of every man, woman, and child. Keep us from harms way and provide protection from plans of destruction that our enemies have plotted. Stop their plans before they are evoked. Give wisdom, understanding and discernment to those who provide us protection. Help us to be watchful and alert to signs of wrongdoing. Please provide insight to national and local authorities on ways to guard, defend, and insure the safety of all American citizens both home and abroad. Helps us to unite with government leaders and law enforcement personnel in making this country a safe place to live, work, and play. Allow Americans to enjoy our freedom without fear. Amen.

DAY 26 - DAILY HISTORY (PROTECTION) - JUNE 19, 2010






JOHN TYLER, DEC. 1843, 3RD ANNUAL MESSAGE:
If any people ever had cause to render up thanks to the Supreme
Being for parental care and protection extended to them in all the trials
and difficulties to which they have been from time to time exposed,
we certainly are that people.


From the first settlement of our forefathers on the continent,
through the dangers attendant upon the occupation of a savage
wilderness, through a long period of colonial dependence, through the
War of the Revolution, in the wisdom which led to the adoption of
the existing forms of republican government...the superintendence of
an overruling Providence has been plainly visible. 


As preparatory, therefore, to entering once more upon the high duties of 
legislation, it becomes us humbly to acknowledge our dependence upon Him 
as our guide and protector and to implore a continuance of His parental
watchfulness over our beloved country.
