I pray daily for our troops who are fighting for our country, our safety, and our freedom. This page is my show of support for the United States' Service Men and Women. May they all come home safely. Note: all links open in a new window.
"O, say! can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?"
"And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say! does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?"

The Pledge of Allegiance
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.

The American's Creed
by William Tyler Page
"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes."
"I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies."
