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 16 - SPECIAL ZIOLO FAMILY PRAYER REQUEST - JUNE 9, 2012

June 9


Dear prayer partners,


My family would like to ask you to specifically pray for us, as we are in the process of adopting a wonderful young boy from an orphanage in Uganda.  The Lord placed a desire in our hearts back in 2010, and the seed grew over the next few years.  It was this year (last month), that the Lord finally reveled 'the one' that He intended us to love for a lifetime.  The child's name is Akram, and He is the desire of our hearts.  Please pray that the Lord will provide all of the necessary finances, His favor in all proceedings, a swift process, an easy transition for all, and safe travels to and from Uganda, as well as in-country.

We acknowledge that there are over 2.7 million orphans in Uganda alone, and that the need is great for loving families to adopt those precious children.  The fingerprint of God is in each of them, and He has called us to love them as Christ loved the children.


Matthew 19:14


Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."




In Christ,


Wally Ziolo and Family
