Donald Trump stressed his push for increased patriotism in a speech to the American Legion this morning.
Specifically, he said that a shared goal of the Trump administration and the American Legion, a veterans' association, is "promoting American pride and patriotism in America’s schools."
"We want young Americans to recite the pledge of allegiance," Trump said.
"We will stop apologizing for America, and we will start celebrating America. We will be united by our common culture, values and principles -- becoming one American nation. One country, under one constitution, saluting one American flag. And always saluting it," he said.
This morning's speech in Cincinnati, Ohio, comes hours after Trump gave a long-awaited address on immigration in Arizona.
He reiterated several of his immigration proposals during this morning's speech, including greater screening for immigrants, a ban on accepting Syrian refugees and a stronger border defense.

Oh, the horror!
Bravo!!
God bless Donald Trump!!!!!!
still no mention of God.
Pretty sad that this is a campaign issue. We should have never stopped promoting American pride & patriotism in America's schools.
Mark Levin is still a “NeverTrumper.”
Start teaching Americanism vs Communism again! And get veterans to teach it.
Kinda like Starship Troopers. Later, we can look at giving veterans and taxpayers extra votes.
He’s got the pro-American vote locked up. If that’s not enough to get to 270 electoral votes, I’m shopping for a new country.
“Donald Trump Pushes Patriotism”
As opposed to transgenderism, anal sex, communism, Islam, and worship of Obama?
Only after 8 years of a leftist, street agitator red-daiper baby President does something so simple and obvious seem like a radical idea.
It will be the end of his career with a Trump win. It would show that the “complain and cash-in” conservatism of most AM talkers was a failure that only manage to make them rich, and that will put these guys out of a job, or severely affect their cash flow.
still no mention of God.

As a Former Marine, you should be ashamed of yourself, you know the Pledge better than anyone...GOD is in the Pledge...
Where’s Hillary’s God???? Care to comment on that one???
I can hear libs screaming now: “Brainwashing! Propaganda! Whitewash!”
I have a question for them. If it’s wrong to teach kids that America is great, despite the fact that we’ve made our share of mistakes, then how is it any less wrong to teach kids that America is horrible when we’ve done more than our share of things right?
Let’s concede for the sake of argument that it IS brainwashing. How is it wrong to brainwash kids into having pride in their country, but it’s okay to brainwash them into hating it?
They used to teach American History. They really don’t anymore .. and the only mention of the USA is how we treated slaves.
We should start with the Rush Limbaugh books - there is a set of 4 - and they’re awesome. When children give book reports on Rush’s books; they always get an A+.
A lot of home school parents are now using the Rush books.
