Yesterday was a special day for the third grade class at Protsman school in Dyer, IN. They had the honor and privilege to tell us about our flag. 60 or 70 children got to tell a packed gym about how this country was formed and how the flag was decided upon and made, they name all of the states and told us parents and grandparents what each state was known for. We all said the pledge to the flag and nobody said boo when the words "UNDER GOD' were spoken and yes, everyone DID cover their heart while saying the pledge. The children did a wonderful job singing the Star Spangled Banner and everyone stood for the singing. You could say there was a tear in every eye listening to these young children sing OUR COUNTRY'S song. Other patriotic songs were sung with much enthusiasm and spirit. The music accompanying the singing was from a CD and this added to the wonderfulness of the entire presentation.
I have to ask one thing. Would Mr. Obama have stood with us, covered his heart, looked at the flag and said the pledge?
