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 34 - DAILY PRAYER (PRAYER FOR TRUE WITNESS ) - JUNE 27, 2013

June 27

Father of all truth,

We come before You this day with joy in our hearts for the truth that You are our almighty Father. That the truth of Your son has set us free, and that the evil one's lies are silenced against Your people. As we contemplate Your 9th commandment today, help us to see and speak the truth in all situations. Forgive us for any false testimony that we may have unknowingly given against another. We wish to be speakers of the truth in all matters, as You have commanded us. Help the temptation of the enemy to lie and bear false witness be far from our hearts and minds, and keep us pure in all that we say. We thank you for placing us in a family of unshakable witness, and strive to be worthy of this great honor in all that we do.

In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen!
