We Need to Return to being a "Nation Under God"


One of the many great childhood memories I cherish is that simple little declaration we made as children at the beginning of our school day all those years ago. Though we were young we knew what we were saying, and though I can't speak for the others, I know that I meant every word. I tested myself, after all these years of not beginning my day with that simple little morning ritual, to see if I still remembered. I did and do, and hopefully, always will.


"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."


We were a "Nation under God" when I was child. We, as a nation, need to be "Under God" once again and for always.
