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."

Heavenly Father, You are the real foundation of nations, raising them up
to serve and care for the people dwelling in their boundaries.
I thank You for making me a citizen of this land of freedom

Send forth your Spirit to this country and make it a source of wisdom
and strength, order and integrity throughout the world. Amen.

DAY 38 - DAILY HISTORY (FOUNDATION) - JULY 1, 2010







GEORGE WASHINGTON, JUN. 14, 1783, TO GOVERNORS ON
DISBANDING ARMY, ON PLAQUE IN ST. PAUL’S CHAPEL,
NY, AND POHICK CHURCH, FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA, WHERE
WASHINGTON WAS VERSTRYMAN 1762-84:


Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt
keep the United States in Thy Holy protection; and Thou wilt incline
the hearts of the Citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and
obedience to Government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love
for one another and for their fellow Citizens of the United States at
large, and particularly for their brethren who have served in the Field.
And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose
us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that
Charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the
Characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and
without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can
never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech
Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
