May 1 is Loyalty Day - The US Flag

May 1 is Loyalty Day

 

Loyalty Day is a special day for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom. 

This is my anti-Occupy tribute, because the Occupy crowd, and Obama, despises everything about America that I hold dear. 

They want to tear all this down. 

 

The American Flag 

 

  

"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."

 

The Flag Code

The Pledge of Allegiance: "should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."
