I Pledge Allegiance to Flag Day
Posted: June 14, 2025
'I pledge allegiance to e flag of the United States of America…'…
Remember when we flew the flag
with pomp and circumstance?
We honored dear Old Glory with much pride.
We pledged allegiance standing tall
with hands across our hearts
acknowledging the soldiers who have died.
One day a year we took the time
to recognize our flag
and teach our children what it represents.
But now it seems those times are past.
The 14th day of June
is just another day. It really makes no sense!
Our stars and stripes are still the means
of picturing our past
while calling out our best symbolically:
a God-blessed nation unified
where there is room for all
from east to west, from sea to shining sea.
