cause is just, and our country will never forget the debt
we owe ... all who gave their lives for freedom."

"...During these last few month, I have been humbled
and privileged to see the true character of this country
in time of testing.
Our enemies believed America was weak and materialistic,
that we would spinter in fear and selfishness.
They were wrong as they are evil.

The American people have responded magnificently,
with courage and compassion,
strength and resolve.
As I have met the heroes, hugged the families,
and looked into the tired faces of the rescuers,
I have stood in awe of the American people..."

PRAYER FOR VICTIMS

Holy Lord, almighty and eternal God, hear our prayers for your servants, whom you have summoned out of this world. Forgive their sins and failings and grant them a place of refreshment, light, and peace. Let them pass unharmed through the gates of death to dwell with the blessed in light, as you promised to Abraham and his children for ever. Accept them into your safekeeping and on the great day of judgment raise them up with all the saints to inherit your eternal kingdom.

Lord our God, you are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our brothers and sisters were suddenly and violently taken from us. Come swiftly to their aid, have mercy on them and comfort their families and friends by the power and protection of the Cross.

[Dubya]

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. Written in August 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was published in The Youth's Companion, September 8, 1892. In its original form it read, "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

In 1923, the words, "the Flag of the United States of America" were added against Bellamy's wishes. Congress added "under God" in 1954, creating the 31-word pledge we say today.

[Dubya]

Your welcome. I was hoping I wasn't doing anything wrong.
