During this presidential campaign we are becoming more divided as a nation, by all of the controversial conversations going on throughout the country.
Recapping the development of America, some people were already here, some came, and some were brought.
Our own history has taught us all a lesson about dividing brother against brother.
During the great immigration movement some refused to take on the common name and departed, some kept their immigration names and culture, and some took on the common names.
America has been called the melting pot, a warm blending together as one, but today we are a cold salad bowl of differences.
The United States of America is the most diverse country in the world and allegedly allows all people — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Have we turned our backs on the three pillars to bond us together as Americans — freedom, free speech, and our flag?
We must never forget the The Pledge of Allegiance as citizens of this great nation.
“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.”
Therefore, read it out loud today, especially the day after the general election on Nov. 8 and have a wonderful day every day as an American!
