Today I had the pleasure of attending the third grade honoring the flag of this country, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. There must have been 150+ children participating and each one was eager to show, tell or sing about our flag. Each state was mentioned in alphabetical order and songs such as America the Beautiful, God Bless America and several other patriotic songs, and of course the daddy of them all the Star Spangled Banner.
As I looked around I don't think that there was a dry eye from the 300 or so people who attended. Seeing these third grade kids giving such a performance gave chills through everyone.
One thing that was missed during the program was the Pledge Of Allegiance. Why was this? Was it not said so it would not offend anyone of maybe because it had the word God in it. If we offend someone by saying the Pledge, SO WHAT. Let them get the hell out of this country.
Sitting in front of me we two women with rags wrapped around their heads speaking in their tongue, whatever the hell that was. If you came to a program honoring our flag the least you can do is speak the language.
With that said I must say the children did a wonderful job and were proud of letting their friends and family know that they knew about THEIR flag and THEIR country.

Aside from the rag heads that apparently don't want to, melt into our pot, I can't believe there was a school (is it public, or private?) that would actually 'honor' anything that had to do with the USA!
Gotta work on the pledge thing though. Publish the schools website, or email, and we can burst the servers with comments.
