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."

What Is Your Story?
Posted on July 26, 2012 by katherine

Earlier today, I was at the driver’s license office. I saw an older man helping his wife fill out papers to re-new her license. And, when it was time to do the vision test, she could barely read the lines. Finally, as they were getting ready to leave, he helped her out the door and down the steps of the office.

As I watched them leave, until I could see them no more, it took me back for a few moments thinking you just never know when your time is finished here on earth. That lady is still hanging on and Bryan’s life ended way too soon. Never in my wildest dreams or thoughts, did I ever think I would be planning a funeral, picking out my husband’s casket and headstone.

Both Bryan and that lady have a story about their lives. What will your story be when you breathe your last breath and your life is over? Will they say you were a lover of God or a lover of this world? I want my story to go something like this: Katherine was a True Worshiper of The Most High God. Every breath was for Him!

What will your family & friends say about you? I have to ask you again, what is your story? Don’t let the devil tell you that you have plenty of time to change. We all know that tomorrow isn’t promised. Just last week, we saw how quickly lives can change. One-minute people were just going to see a movie & the next minute they were fighting for their lives.

Let today be the day, you decide you will be a true worshiper of Jesus- no more living for the moment, giving into temptation, or barely having a relationship with Him. Lord, we offer our lives to you. We pray that You God would write our life story for Your Glory. We live to Worship you! We know there is no greater joy than knowing & serving You!
