I AM VERY BLESSED AT WORK ....
DAILY I GET TO HEAR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE BEING SAID BY ONE OF THE SCHOOL CHILDREN (as he or she leads all the other students in it) THEN THEY PLAY

THEN ONE SIDE PLAYS THE NATIONAL ANTHEM EVERY DAY.. SANG BY CHILDREN.. "ITS AWESOME!"

HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY CHY!

The following words were spoken by the late Red Skelton on his television program as he related the story of his teacher, Mr. Laswell, who felt his students had come to think of the Pledge of Allegiance as merely something to recite in class each day.

Now, more than ever, listen to the meaning of these words.
"I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you.
If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word?"
me, an individual, a committee of one.
I Pledge
dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self pity. Allegiance
my love and my devotion.
To the flag
our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever
she waves, there's respect because your loyalty has given
her a dignity that shouts freedom is every body's job!
of the United
that means that we have all come together.
States
individual communities that have united into 48 great states.
Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and
purpose; all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to
a common purpose, and that's love for country.
And to the republic
a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the
people to govern. And government is the people and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
For which it stands, one nation
one nation "UNDER GOD",
meaning "so blessed by God"
Indivisible
incapable of being divided.
With liberty
which is freedom -- the right of power to live one's

own life without threats, fear or some sort of retaliation.

And Justice

the principle or quality of dealing fairly with others.

For all

which means, boys and girls, it's as much your

country as it is mine.

***~~**~~***

Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country

and two words have been added to the pledge of Allegiance...
UNDER GOD

Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer
and that would be eliminated from schools too?

God Bless America!

U.S. National Anthem. ?The Star Spangled Banner ?, 2012. - YouTube

 The Fourth verse of The Star Spangled Banner has almost been forgotten to history, but it is a very powerful finale to the song. More importantly, it truly praises God for His role in keeping our nation together during the war of 1812. Share this with your friends to remind them of what God’s providence has done for us and our nation.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation,
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n – rescued land
Praise the Pow’r that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, for our cause is just,
And this be our motto–”In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
