One Nation UNDER GOD...

O, say! can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.O say! does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Our Flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away!

They can pilfer and plunder our nation but my right to speak out and stand up for God belongs to me. I believe God is still holding his hand over our great nation! We must stand up and be counted for our Faith or we allow those who desire to undermine our right to speak to win the battle. Our FLAG still stands, and my Pledge continues to be to One Nation UNDER GOD. I will not remove those words.

Those who choose not to use them are free to not use them, but they WILL CONTINUE to be part of the Pledge I make to my flag.

A judge declared them unconstitutional based on the bias of a man who has Faith in nothing. He does not believe. God bless his soul, he has chosen his direction, allow him the freedom to go his way. I have chosen mine, I will say the Pledge as I learned it many years ago, sitting on my Grandfather's knee.

"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. AMEN"

When I say the Pledge of Allegiance, I end it with AMEN, because it is a prayer for my flag, my country men, the service men, and all who hear, including GOD, that my FLAG always stand for freedom.

I believe if we stand together, continue saying the Pledge as it was written, and hold it high, proudly flying our Flag of Freedom, our God will stand beside us and we will be ONE NATION UNDER GOD INDIVISIBLE!

Will you STAND with me?
