What the Pledge Means on Flag Day 2001 Cindy FurnareEditor's note: Flag Day is Thursday, June 14. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE ... I pledge my loyalty, faith, and devotion and I pay sincere homage to the flag. How many people pledge allegiance to the American flag today? A heck of a lot less since 1992. I'm sure about that. It would be interesting to watch media outlets and talk show hosts take a survey and ask teen-agers and adults if they can recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag. An interesting follow-up question should be asked, "What does the pledge of allegiance mean to you?" TO THE FLAG ... When I see the colors of the flag, I think of how many lives were lost and how many people were injured so that I can say the pledge of allegiance to the flag today. I think of the wars where young men fought and where young men died. I have an American flag on a flagpole outside my bedroom window. As the flag billows proudly in the wind, I can hear the sweet sound of freedom and liberty. OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ... America is a great country. It's unfortunate that so many Americans do not understand just how bountiful and blessed our country is. Even fewer understand what is meant by the phrase "to the Republic for which it stands." ONE NATION UNDER GOD ... This nation is a great nation and many of us still give thanks to God for allowing America to become one nation under God. It's by God's grace that we are still a sovereign nation today. INDIVISIBLE ... The hateful tool of political correctness is a divisive weapon being used to carve out the traditional values which are the very heart of our nation's great heritage. United we stand. Divided we fall! WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." -II Corinthians 3:17 As our culture continues to crumble, one can wonder if there really is "justice for all." We'll see.
Cindy's note: Have you taken The Pledge today? CHRISTIAN FLAG I pledge allegiance to the Christian Flag, and to the Savior for whose kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen and coming again, with life and liberty to all who believe. BIBLE I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God's Holy Word. I will make it a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path, and will hide its words in my heart that I might not sin against God. AMERICAN 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.
