A Salute to the Flag and Pledge of Allegiance |

This June marks the 60th anniversary of the addition of the words "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance, words that continue to provoke controversy and lawsuits despite presidents clearly invoking God's help and protection for the country throughout the nation's history. For example, President John F. Kennedy, in the inaugural president address in which he famously called on Americans to "ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country," also stated "the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God."
