My wife and I were married on the 4th of July 1998 in Barranquilla, Colombia. The priest performing the ceremony incorporated the closing lines from the "Declaration of Independence" stating that they truely represented the spirit of matrimony on a day special to all the people of the American Hemisphere. For it was then that true Freedom 1st appeared on these shores.

She may have her Colombian flag, and I have an Imperial German flag in rememnbrance of our ancestral roots, but only the Stars and Stripes flies from our home.

You can add a Pasadena, TX elementry school to your list of those suppressing the American spirit by preventing students from wearing patriotically themed clothing. I pointed out to the superintendant in an e-mail that "As a governmental authority, the school district is bound by the Constitutiton and all its amendments. The prohibition described in the (news)item is clearly a violation of the students' 1st amendment right to free speech." And that's what the PC crowd is doing. They would fade from view were they to be charge in federal court with violating our 1st amendment rights.

Nasty, I hate to tell you this, but in most schools the phrase "one nation, under God, indivisible" has had the "under God" deleted. That's like the recently past choir director at my church changing the lyrics to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."

Try this on for size, "..., with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." The Declaration of Independence

Isn't it amazing that the words of our founding fathers can echo across the years with enough meaning and force that a preist in Colombia can use them as part of the wedding vows my wife and I spoke in addition to those more traditional vows.

Unfortunately, there are those around for whom they have no meaning at all. Maybe we should all pledge our sacred honors to uphold the freedoms, rights, and privileges we so dearly enjoy.
