Here Is Why I say the Pledge of Allegiance
By Doctor Halvorson
“I pledge allegiance”
It’s not all about me. There are others around me that I am converned about. I am part of something bigger than myself and I will strive to consider others’ needs as well as my own.
“To the flag of the United States of America”
Symbols are an important part of my life. Diplomas, awards, my wedding ring, all demonstrate to others that I have worked hard and am a committed person. The flag represents the commitments of all those who serve now including some of our own TCP students and those who died to create this land of the free.
“And to the republic for which it stands”
Even with its faults, I believe in this form of government. Many risk all they have to live under this form of government. I am proud to be a citizen.
“One nation”
Unity is such an important part of our history and what we stand for, that our country underwent one of the most horrible events a country can experience, a Civil War. And so, we stand united today.
“Under God”
God has many forms and different names for different groups of people. This country was based upon freedom of religion and the concept that government would never impose any one religion upon the people. For me, God represents freedom since He gave man free agency.
“With liberty and justice for all.”
Can there be any greater goal than to support these inalienable rights for everyone? It is not just for the few in power. Actually those in power are charged with the responsibility of ensuring these rights for everyone. Liberty and justice are so important to our country that those who are not citizens enjoy the protection of our laws.
Yes, I say the Pledge of Allegiance. And when I think about it as I do, it is with a tear in my eye and a prayer in my heart.
