  • The Pledge of Allegiance"
    Author of "THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE" This tribute to Bro. Francis Bellamy was writ-ten by Bro. John R. Nocas, 33 ø, PGHP, and condensed by him for use as a Short Talk Bulletin. ~ (Hand writen) 'THE PLEDGE IN BELLAMYS HANDWRITING Who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag? Can you imagine a time when this was not known? Well, truth is stranger than fiction, for up until 1939 it was not certain who had written the Pledge, and what's more, until that time no one seemed to care. Finally, in that year, after years of research a committee of the U.S. Flag Association ruled that Francis J. Bellamy had indeed written our Pledge of Allegiance. Shown above is the Pledge in his own handwriting. The "to" was inserted for the sake of rhythm. The Reverend Francis J. Bellamy was a Mason, a member of Little Falls Lodge No. 181, Little Falls, New York. The Order of the Eastern Star erected a memorial tablet to him in 1955 in Oriskany, New York. At the First National Flag Conference in Washington, D.C., June 14, 1923, the words "the Flag of the United States" was substituted for "my flag." The change was made on the grounds that those born in foreign countries might have in mind the flag of their native land when giving the Pledge. The Second National Flag Conference in Washington on Flag Day, 1924, added, for the sake of greater definition, the words "of America." On Flag Day, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed an Act of Congress adding the words "under God." For greater meaning and proper presentation when reciting the Pledge there should be only three pauses: 1.

  • The History of the Pledge of Allegiance
    REV: FINAL The History of the Pledge of Allegiance I stand before you this evening in the uniform of the Heroes of ’76, a side order of the National Sojourners. The uniform is representative of those worn by members of our Brother George Washington’s Continental Army and is, in part, a symbol of the commitment the National Sojourners make to Proudly Serve the Cause of Patriotism. Such service, however is not unique to individual Sojourners --- in fact, it could be said that Proudly Serving the Cause of Patriotism is a passion of all Masons. In fact, the roots and symbols of American patriotism have their birth in Freemasonry. The precepts and teachings of Freemasonry helped shape the birth of this nation and are exhibited by the many notable patriots listed on the roles of lodges across America and Europe. The lodge rolls include founding fathers, presidents, congressmen, representatives, governors, commissioners, mayors, and council members. The lodge rolls also include many Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, Generals, Admirals, unit commanders, line officers, and a wealth of the enlisted ranks. All are dedicated to the freedom granted to all mankind by the Great Architect of the Universe. Furthering the guarantee of freedom and the expression of one’s personal belief, the lodge rolls have notable religious leaders, civil-rights leaders, astronauts, inventors, industrialists, poets, authors, and entertainers that are all dedicated to the Semper Fidelis Lodge No. 680 Program ~ Pledge of Allegiance – 12 June 2013 Page 1 common cause of personal freedom of all mankind. Masons, in particular, were instrumental in inspiring many of our patriotic symbols and the means for expressing our patriotism.

  • July 4Th Is Typically a Day Filled with Celebrations for Our Nation's
    July 4th is typically a day filled with celebrations for our nation’s independence. This summer, please take a moment to remember. Our past is all too easy to forget because our ancestors did the hard part. It is up to us to remember and preserve their efforts. The Declaration of Independence was signed July 4, 1776. The Declaration was the promise and the Constitution was the fulfillment. Thomas Jefferson lived at the Graff house in Philadelphia ( 7th and Market Streets) while he was writing the Declaration of Independence. “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”. On September 17, 1787, the Constitution was adopted by the Constitutional Convention / Constitutional Congress in Philadelphia, PA. It was ratified in 1788 and the promise was fulfilled. With that vision in mind, on June 14, 1777 the Continental Congress adopted the following resolution. The flag of the United States will be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white. The union will be the thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation. The stars represented Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island. The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy. A natural born leader, George Washington, was unanimously elected president of the United States twice by the Electoral College and remains the only president to receive 100% of the electoral votes.

  • The Origins of Veterans Day
    The Origins of Veterans Day 2006 Veterans Day Poster In 1921, an unknown World War I American soldier was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. This site, on a hillside overlooking the Potomac River and the city of Washington, D.C., became the focal point of reverence for America’s veterans. Similar ceremonies occurred earlier in England and France, where an unknown soldier was buried in each nation’s highest place of honor (in England, Westminster Abbey; in France, the Arc de Triomphe). These memorial gestures all took place on November 11, giving universal recognition to the celebrated ending of World War I fighting at 11 a.m., November 11, 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month). The day became known as “Armistice Day.” Armistice Day officially received its name in America in 1926 through a Congressional resolution. It became a national holiday 12 years later by similar Congressional action. If the idealistic hope had been realized that World War I was “the War to end all wars,” November 11 might still be called Armistice Day. But only a few years after the holiday was proclaimed, war broke out in Europe. Sixteen and one-half million Americans took part. Four hundred seven thousand of them died in service, more than 292,000 in battle. Armistice Day Changed To Honor All Veterans The first celebration using the term Veterans Day occurred in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1947. Raymond Weeks, a World War II veteran, organized "National Veterans Day," which included a parade and other festivities, to honor all veterans.

  • 1-1-2021 One Nation Under God
    1-1-2021 ONE NATION UNDER GOD The history of America is interesting and filled with inputs from the citizenry that never fail to amaze. For example, The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was originally published in The Youth's Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy had hoped that the pledge would be used by citizens in any country. In its original form it read: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." In 1923, the words, "the Flag of the United States of America" were added. In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. More can be read at https://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm. Francis' career followed that of his father and as a young man, he became a Baptist minister. His career as a preacher ended because of his tendency to describe Jesus as a socialist. In the 21st century, Bellamy is considered an early American democratic socialist. For most Americans, the United States is a refuge for freedom. Asked to compare the U.S. to other modern, industrialized nations on a number of aspects, citizens are most positive about individual freedoms. Majorities also say the U.S. compares favorably on quality of life and the ability of people to get ahead are above average compared with other modern nations.
