Happy 4th of July!
Have you taught your children the Pledge of Allegiance yet? There is no time like the present, and I thought I would share with you a little trivia about how our flag was crafted. My daughter really enjoyed hearing the symbolism behind each element of our flag.
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.
