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 17 - DAILY PRAYER (PEACE) - JUNE 10, 2011

June 10


Father in Heaven,
As a nation that has been born out of Your great mercy and blessings, we humbly come to You today seeking a renewed peace in America.  Father, Your word tells us that You will give strength unto Your people; and You will bless Your people with peace (Psalm 29:11).  It is as believers that we come to Your throne today to ask for the fulfillment of this promise.  Give us a peace from the natural disasters which have wrought utter calamity across this country.  Give us a peace and prosperity in the finances of this nation, and it's people.  Grant us a reprieve from the many social and personal failings that we have experienced as Your people.  Grant us a peace and removal from the addictions that Satan has bound us with.  Give us a peace to share with the people of other countries, and a shining light of hope for all nations in Your name. 
We worship, and adore You...all blessings come from Your loving hand, and Your great mercy.  Please be merciful upon Your people.  Let there be a season of peace across this land, and let Your people lift up their praise for this answer to prayer.  We speak our hearts desire to You now Father, and beseech Your great blessing of peace upon this nation.
In the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.  Amen!
