Yes, I knew that and that is as American as Apple Pie, and we should take heed and follow in those footsteps...

At a school play tonite in Filer, Idaho we all said the Pledge of Alligence, one nation under "God", not one complaint, and never will be, Idaho is America...and the Supreme Court be damed..Tradition can only be lost if we allow it....

Good for Sears. I'll try to remember this.
