At church last week we watched a Ben Carson video - https://www.youtube.com/embed/i-Foz-EjZ3g.
One of my favorite parts of his speech is when he states to the college students that what he has to say will not be politically correct! That made me smile. :)

As I continued to listen to Ben Carson's speech, it occurred to me that children today probably have no idea what the Pledge of Allegiance is. When I was a child, I attended public school. Each morning, at the beginning of the announcements, the students and teacher would all stand and face the American flag that was hanging in the room and then say out loud the words to The Pledge of Allegiance. I wanted to type them here in my blog in case it will be new information to some readers.
"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."
Here is a link with more information on the topic:
