With the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, patriotism in this country soared. And then with a California father filing suit to have “One nation under God” removed from the Pledge of Allegiance, and the War On Terror, reaction has never been greater to take part in one of the simplest, yet most effective ways to honor our country. On September 11, 2002, we began this tradition of honoring America with the Pledge, presented by various classrooms in our schools after the 7:00AM weather. And now with America’s involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, and many Central Illinois service personnel taking an active part in the Gulf, the tradition continues this school year.

If your class or school would like to take part, call Rick at 309-676-5000 or email him at rick@rickstephenson.com Rick will set up an appointment to visit your school and record your class to play back on the air!
