 John McCain's remarks about the Pledge of Allegiance  In light of  
the recent appeals court ruling in California, with respect to the  
Pledge of Allegiance, the following recollection from Senator John  
McCain is very appropriate:

'The Pledge of Allegiance' - by Senator John McCain

'As you may know, I spent five and one half years as a prisoner of war  
during the Vietnam War. In the early years of our imprisonment, the  
NVA kept us in solitary confinement or two or three to a cell. In 1971  
the NVA moved us from these conditions of isolation into large rooms  
with as many as 30 to 40 men to a room.

This was, as you can imagine, a wonderful change and was a direct  
result of the efforts of millions of Americans on behalf of a few  
hundred POWs 10,000 miles from home. One of the men who moved into my  
room was a young man named Mike Christian. Mike came from a small town  
near Selma , Alabama . He didn't wear a pair of shoes until he was 13  
years old. At 17, he enlisted in the US Navy. He later earned a  
commission by going to Officer Training School Then he became a Naval  
Flight Officer and was shot down and captured in 1967. Mike had a keen  
and deep appreciation of the opportunities this country and our  
military provide for people who want to work and want to succeed. As  
part of the change in treatment, the Vietnamese allowed some prisoners  
to receive packages from home. In some of these packages were  
handkerchiefs, scarves and other items of clothing.  Mike got himself  
a bamboo needle. Over a period of a couple of months, he created an  
American flag and sewed on the inside of his shirt. Every afternoon,  
before we had a bowl of soup, we would hang Mike's shirt on the wall  
of the cell and say the Pledge of Allegiance. I know the Pledge of  
Allegiance may not seem the most important part of our day now, but I  
can assure you that in that stark cell it was indeed the most  
important and meaningful event.  One day the Vietnamese searched our  
cell, as they did periodically, and discovered Mike's shirt with the  
flag sewn inside, and removed it. That evening they returned, opened  
the door of the cell, and for the benefit of all of us, beat Mike  
Christian severely for the next couple of hours. Then, they opened the  
door of the cell and threw him in. We cleaned him up as well as we  
could. The cell in which we lived had a concrete slab in the middle on  
which we slept Four naked light bulbs hung in each corner of the room.  
As I said, we tried to clean up Mike as well as we could. After the  
excitement died down, I looked in the corner of the room, and sitting  
there beneath that dim light bulb with a piece of red cloth, another  
shirt and his bamboo needle, was my friend, Mike Christian. He was  
sitting there with his eyes almost shut from the beating he had  
received, making another American flag. He was not making the flag  
because it made Mike Christian feel better. He was making that flag  
because he knew how important it was to us to be able to Pledge our  
allegiance to our flag and country. So the next time you say the  
Pledge of Allegiance, you must never forget the sacrifice and courage  
that thousands of Americans have made to build our nation and promote  
freedom around the world. You must remember our duty, our honor, and  
our country.'

'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.'  PASS THIS ON... And  
on... And on! You can even send it back to me, I don't mind, because  
its worth reading again.
oh......and then you have this clown, who refuses to place his hand on  
his heart and say the pledge.....
Subject: Remember this picture on election day!Let's all remember this  
on election day...if you have family serving in the military, make  
sure you send it along.  I don't care for Hillary, but at least she  
shows respect for the country she lives in!I had heard about this but  
a picture is definitely worth 1000 words! God save us!!!

Barack Hussein Obama's photo (that's his real name).....the article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND
ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE.....how in the hell
can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief.
