Freedom and democracy are not gifts, they were established through great effort and maintained by much vigilance.
It is a matter of honor being an American citizen upholding our Constitution.
Our National Anthem and flag are symbols of a unique concept in human affairs. For the first time in man's history, a national community has been built on the principles of individual freedom, responsible government and human equality.
When we pay homage to our anthem and flag, or recite the Pledge of Allegiance, we are stating a dedication to our heritage and acknowledging our resolve to secure and continue it.
