Walked into the bathroom tonight, and found my 3 year old...

[jblomenberg16]

Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance over and over and over. Listened to her say it for about 5 minutes with a big grin on my face and a warm heart before I went in and gave her a big hug.

 

[CPT Nervous]

There's hope for the future!!!

Glad to hear it.

 

[Bennettjh]

Is she practicing it for an event or just feeling patriotic?

 

[jblomenberg16]

They have been working on it at pre-school, so perhaps she was really proud that she finally has it down (had a few mumbled words around "indivisible"). She's been insisting on being the one that prays before our meals too "all by herself."

We understand if it comes out 'invisible'!

Give that excellent munchkin an extra hug for me!

You'd better take that little girl out for an ice cream or other treat, then maybe if you think she's been extra good, a trip to the shooting range.

Nothing in the world compares to moments like this as a parent. They are what carry you through when the rudest client, most aggressive tailgater, or glock-hater try to screw up your Zen. Mine's 18 now, and still remains my "happy thought" because of the warm fuzzy yours gave you this morning. Here's to the kids!

Keep practicing. You'll get there someday.

Don't worry, a public school education will erase any vestiges of patriotism.

 

[MikeOrtiz]

That's awesome.... I tell em all the time how great our country really is.

 

[MikeOrtiz]

Yeah I have to agree about the public school system. They do not want to recite it around here because of two words, Under God.
I respect other cultures and religions, but you are messing with my religion and my culture when you change something that is a part of American Heritage.

 

[TB1999]

My son is in kindergarten at a public school and they say the POA too. I get the feeling more schools still say it than one might think.

How long before the American hating, leftists on INGO show up in the thread...

Don't worry, a public school education will erase any vestiges of patriotism.

When will that happen, during the convocation being put on Wednesday by my school's military history club commemorating Veterans Day, with an open invitation to any local veteran that would like to come and be recognized? Or during every morning for the past 14 years (in 3 school districts in 2 states) that I've stood with my students and recited the pledge? Or during the welcome home celebrations given to two of my colleagues after returning from overseas deployments? That broad brush splashed some paint on a spot not needing coverage.

to the OP, awesome thing to witness, I'm sure.
