The Pledge of Allegiance

ByJoel Comm

Growing up in a small rural town in Oregon, every day in school was started with our flag salute. It was patriotic, and it reminded us of just how lucky we were to be living in the country we lived in. Today’s FamSite looks at the flag salute, also known as The Plege of Allegiance.

This site tells the story of the pledge, and traces the changes to it. It is a story that reminds us of just how far our nation has come, and how far it has to go. Enjoy your visit here today, and come back often.
