JULY 4, 2010: I AM AN AMERICAN...

...I believe in and shall fight for THE AMERICAN CREED:

"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my county to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies."

(Written by William Tyler Page; adopted by the Government Committee on Publication, and accepted, April 3, 1918, by the House of Representatives, on behalf of the American people.)
