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.'


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. Even if you don't care for Hillary, 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!!!



Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem.

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

Please provide a credible link to the article that Senator Obama did not say or put his hand on his heart during the pledege of allegiance. You left out the internet rumour that he said his Senate Oath of Office on the Koran. Just because Vman says it does not make it true...

The Facts
The photograph was taken on September 16, 2007, at Senator Tom Harkin's annual steak fry festivities in Iowa, an important ritual for Democratic presidential hopefuls. Contrary to the e-mails attacking Obama for disrespecting the flag, the candidates were not reciting the pledge of allegiance. They were standing for the national anthem.

As far as we can ascertain, the photograph first appeared in Time Magazine on October 1. Visit Time's website for a larger version. It was then picked up by the NewsBusters blog (Motto: "Exposing and Combating Liberal Media Bias"), and from there made its way into all those in-boxes.

Lemmy, that's all besides the point. The truth about him has come out in the past month or so about his ties to Rev. Wright, and his ties to that Rezko dude. Now people can't say anything in public in response to what his wife says, even if she's stepping in it bigtime. He's a smooth talking liberal, for sure, and it's amazing how many people are being fooled by this SVENGALI. Lets talk issues. Exactly what HAS he proposed that makes any sense other than "Hope and change". I think Hope was a USO-touring comedian, and change is all you'll have left in your pockets after "O" gets through taxing H E L L out of us all.

My bad there lem...thought it was a valid email.....must have been those f'n Clinton's spreading malicious stuff again.

Hey he could settle all this once and for all. Operation pork chop. I would love to see BHO sit down to platter of good ole southern barbeque pork ribs and lick the bones dry. Until the then he's nothing more than the 12th imam in disguise to me!

I don't see Obama winning in Nov. A large portion of Hillary voters won't vote for him in the general election. He can't beat McCain in ohio, pa, or FL.

Add to that Kentucky and West "by God" Virginia. He might win VA if he picks Jim Webb as his VP candidate.

Southpaw, even if Senator Obama ate port, you would not believe he was not a commie, hippie, muslim, black panther sympathizer nazi. Nor would you vote for him.

Vman, the person who forwarded to you probably thought it was correct info also. And the person who forwarded it to them... And the person who forwarded it to them...

The following e-mail is making the rounds among us Dems... I doubt it is accurate either.

Is it ever going to stop raining so I can do some fly fishing!

Greetings!


I was John McCain's Navy Flight Instructor --- in formation tactics and air-to-air-gunnery. I could write a book about this man. Suffice to state, I shudder (and I'm fearless) at the nightmare thought of this man becoming our next President and Commander in Chief. I am not alone as to this man's former shipmates, instructors and senior officers --- as to who and what this man is really all about. Although politics is really theater and the best performing actor gets to stay on the main stage --- sorta like American Idol only much more dangerous to all living things --- the performance and the make-over (re-invention) of this man is currently matched only by that of former LTC Oliver North, USMC (Ret.). Together on the same ticket, these two clowns would be real crowd pleasers in this sorry day and age of liars, banal dummies and limp-headed performers.

Thanx for having the guts to put the real deal information on the site re: John Sidney McCain III --- since the mainstream media is much too lazy to put the real story on McCain out there for the rest of their lazy consumers.

Best regards,

CDR Jerry K. Loeb, USN (Ret.)
Palm Desert, CA
