PPREAMBLE to the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA and the FLAGE PLEDGE
"God Bless America"!
ON July 4th, the citizens of The United States of America are reminded in the
“Preamble of the Constitution of the United States of America” that they secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,
meaning - (future generations)
ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America,
as defined in the First Amendment.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIENCE
I PLEDGE ALLEGIENCE 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.
NOTE: (Did you know that America’s First Flag Day Celebration took place on June 14, 1885, at Stoney Hill School in Waubeka, WI, just a few miles North of Grafton, WI?)
I invite you to visit a BLOG I wrote over five years ago which given the attacks the Constitution of the United States of America is facing today; I feel it should be examined more closely. The first three Quizzes cover the History of the United States before the United States Constitution was Adopted. The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, and the United States officially became its own nation. (Once you take a quiz, and you want to take more at one time, you will have to log out and go back to the website). Go to:
