| Flag of the United States of America |
It is almost Independence Day for the USA. With all the different flags people
display and all the different sides of causes citizens jump on, is America
becoming a people divided? Do not get me
wrong, I have no problem with people displaying other flags, as long as they
also show their allegiance to the country that gave them the freedom to do
so. In other words, so we do not forget
where our freedoms come from, we should display the USA flag along with any other
we choose. Let us show American
unity once again.
Because children have grown up who
did not know or understand the magnitude
of historical events and so many others have chosen to forget the terrorist
attacks on 9-11-01,
I think we need to recognize that disharmony is another way in for those that wish
to undermine America to use for its destruction. For that reason, I feel everyone should pause
once in a while and say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag lest we forget the
words, the
history, and our true hope for the uniting of the nation’s citizens. We need to remember the words and teach
them to our children. In case
someone does not remember the pledge, the 31 words are provided below.
*** USA
- 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."
***
"We give our
heads and our hearts to god and our country.
