I remember starting every school day with the Pledge of Allegiance. It really surprised me to learn a few years ago that this was no longer done in our schools. We even had a flag raising ceremony every morning. It is so sad that generations have been raised now that don't even know the words.

Everytime I hear it it brings tears to my eyes. So many fought and died for this flag, and this nation. We honor them and freedom when we recite this simple pledge .

For far too long there have been those who seek to divide us, this pledge says we are ONE NATION, not a bunch of diverse people that they have tried to make us.
Perhaps reciting this again will instill in the children of this nation the patriotism that we who are older have always felt which has been supressed for far too long.

My friend has a 3 1/2 year old. He just blurted out the pledge one day. Said he had learned it at pre-school!
