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."

THANK YOU - AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU!


Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,


At the conclusion of this years 40-Day Prayer, I would especially like to thank each of you for your faithfulness to this nation, it's people, and our religious heritage.  Through our humble and continual prayer and intercession for this county, we hope to be blessed once again by our loving Father.  The word of God promises that wherever two or more are gathered in prayer, He will be also (Matthew 18:20). Thank the Lord for His promise to hear our supplication, and answer our fervent prayers.  May He richly bless the efforts of our time in seeking His face, and may He shower down the abundant blessings from His great storehouses.


Please celebrate the Independence of this great nation tomorrow (July 4th), and proclaim throughout this land that we are a Christian nation....one that serves the God of God's, King of King's, and Lord of Lord's. May we always live in a land where we are free to pray to the one God, creator of all things.


God bless you, and may He hold you free from harm.  May we once again gather next year, and again seek His blessings for our nation through prayer.


In Christ,


Wally Ziolo
