June 14, 1777 the Continental Congress adopted the stars and stripes as our flag.
A generic pledge of alliance to "my flag" intended for all nations was written by Francis Bellamy. a socialist minister in 1892. The words the flag of the United States of America was added in 1932 and President Eisenhauer encouraged Congress to add after one nation, "Under God," in 1954. Thanks Ike.
Join me this flag day in saying: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
"If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)
