Celebrating America’s 250th birthday would be the perfect opportunity to understand how and when the America became independent from Great Britain. The most influential and powerful document in American history, the Declaration of Independence , the historical document signed in 1776, is the backbone of the way the United States is governed and summarizes the core philosophical structure of the American government. The National Archives Museum in Washington D.C. has the original documents on full display for public viewing where thousands of visitors have already been viewing the documents in this celebratory year.
And one important patriotic verse that should be recited during the celebrations is one of the most important verses that everyone living in America needs to know and say whenever possible:
“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.”
Originally written by Francis Bellamy in 1892. “under God” was added by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on Flag Day in 1954.
The journey continues and for America, it’s a 250th great one!
Happy Birthday America!
