PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

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!

STAR–SPANGLED BANNER

by Francis Scott Key. Released in 1814

♪ Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light ♫
♫ What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? ♪
♪ Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, ♫
♫ O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? ♪
♪ And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, ♫
♫ Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. ♪
♪ Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave! ♫

Happy National Freedom Day ! ! !

Premise: February 1^st holds great significance in that Abraham Lincoln had just signed the 13^th Amendment outlawing slavery in the year 1865. Then on June 30, 1948, President Harry Truman signed a bill proclaiming February 1^st as its first official National Freedom Day throughout the United States in celebration of that first full day of freedom for all.

When: Thereafter February 1^st has been the day to celebrate freedom for all with National Freedom Day, every year!
