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 11 - DAILY PRAYER (PRAYER) - JUNE 4, 2012

June 4



"AMERICA ON ALTAR CALL"


Join me in prayer and please follow me every where
Join me and soon we'll be one on one in joyful prayer
Soon the two of us will have a prayer line no longer small
For forty days; we'll have America on altar call.


Hand in hand in back yards, town to town, and highways
Churches of all faiths and rich or poor will begin to pray
Children, mamas and daddies, and folks we don't know at all
For forty days; we'll have America on altar call.


For forty days; we'll have America on altar call
For forty days; throughout court houses and malls
Message in our prayers will say it was worth all the time
We pray no more hunger, wars, hate, or never-ending crime.


Angels in Heaven will see America has returned like it use to be
Angels in Heaven will see that our flag is still waving free
Started with two and now there's a million big and small
For forty days; we'll have America on altar call.
