6.14.2009~*~*~*I Pledge...*~*~*~*~*

So June 14th was Flag Day. We celebrated by going to breakfast at my father-in-law's VFW. I have to tell you...I couldn't be more proud of the soldiers serving...then and now. I have so much pride in being an American. I hope to instill that in my children. Do you know the meaning of the flag?

Do you know what the red, white and blue stand for? You know that the thirteen stripes stand for the original colonies. You know that the fifty stars stand for the fifty states. But what about the colors? Well-I couldn't explain it the way that I found it at this website. It is wonderfully written so check it out!
And lastly...and firstly...
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
