"I pledge allegiance to my flag
and the Republic for which it stands,
one nation indivisible
with liberty and justice for all."
-  Francis Bellamy, 1892 

The Pledge of Allegiance has been modified four times since Bellamy's initial writing.  In 1954, "Under God" was added.  It will certainly be said during this month!  July, yes, can you believe that it is July?  And in three days it will be July 4th, Independence Day.  Parades, flags, family gatherings, barbecues, fireworks, celebrations abound.
My favorite Independence Day activity is to watch the celebrations from our Nation's Capital.  The 1812 Overture elicits a sense of American patriotism.  Marching bands, orchestra, all the "grand" sounds that abound!  Love it!

Hope you have a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
