The American Creed
Placque

"I believe in
the United States of America,
* as a government of the people, by the people, for the people;
* whose just powers are derived from the
consent of the
governed;
* a democracy in a republic;
* a sovereign Nation of many
sovereign States;
* a perfect union, one and inseparable;
* established upon those
principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which
American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to
support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag,
and to defend it against all enemies.
William Tyler Page adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives
April 3, 1918. |
