USA Our Flag and The Pledge We Make

 

 

 

Our Flag And The Pledge We Make The Pledge is not just a bunch of pretty words. It is what it says 'A Pledge... A Commitment' to our country that our forefathers founded on the principle of simple trust in God!' and now because there are those that are offended by God it is going to be done away with or at best altered. If my pledge or my mention of God offends you then step out of the room/stadium. But do not strip not just my beliefs but my heritage and customs away. Our flag I hold very dear. While you may feel it to be your right of  protest to burn it the thoughts of such a disrespectful act makes me shudder. That Flag is our country and before you take a match to it or attempt to abolish it why not just leave? That flag has draped so many... too many coffins of our returning heroes and is all a mother/wife has to cling to. So please remember it is not just a piece of material ....  It is the soul of this awesome country we call home. When I look at our flag the stars represent the very same ones that watch over each of us from the heavens and guide ships across the sea and soldiers across foreign soils. The blue represents the sea and skies that has carried our brave military to far away lands and then back home to welcoming shores. The red represents the blood that has been shed for hundreds of years to preserve our freedom and the passion I have for my country. The white represents the pure love God showers on each of us, believers and non-believers, each and every day. And yet there are those who wish to have it all abolished. The Knights of Columbus are the ones responsible for having 'Under God' added to our pledge and to have that removed will be a tragic tragic loss. I am but one person but trust me I will be heard loud and clear...

May we ever honor the words of our pledge to the red, white and blue!!

You have done an outstanding job of presenting your poem, including format, and words and music of John Wayne as accompaniment!

I truly have enjoyed every word from your heart and your commitment of patriotism!
