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 12 - DAILY PRAYER (ISRAEL) - JUNE 5, 2013

June 5

God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,

As a nation that has stood in the gap for Israel, we beseech Your continued guidance for our leaders. May they continue to call Israel a friend, and support their cause for all that You have given them. In these troubling times in the world's view of Israel, may You grant a renewed strength to the leaders and people people of Israel, and all that have called upon Your Holy name! Lord, continue to bless all nations that bless Israel, and may the United States of America continue to benefit from this union in friendship and peace with Israel.

In Jesus' name. Amen!
