2009 version talks about the military protecting our borders. Also says something like "ignorance, apathy, and prejudice are enemies of the country. Defeat those by taking advantage of educational opportunities."
I did find something interesting in the 1984 version though that I forgot about:
The American's Creed
I believe in
the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the poeple, 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 inseperable;
established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrified 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 repect its flag;
and to defend it against all enemies. (foreign and domestic)
Okay I added the last foreign and domestic in parenthesis.
I didn't see that in the 2009 version.
Interesting. Thank You.
The older stuff is better, a much more powerful message.
I like the Creed.
I think I will print it all out and give it to the Scout Master.
