text: do you know the pedge of allegiance? do you mean it when you say it?   yes, i know the peldge of allegiance. and yes i very much so mean it when i say it ever time i say it. the reason being is that i have a husband that served in the united states of america, a friend whom just passed whom served, and a high scholl friend whom just got back nhome from the iraqi war. and to military personell it holds great meaning that if we are not a country that is willing to stand for its beliefs, it politics, it people and their rights, and to believe in god what would become of all of us would we just stop caring, fighting for our rights, and not believeing that their is a god who watches over us. not this family we strongly believe in the pledge of alleigance and always will not mattter what. and one other thing before i go the most touching thing that i have seen recently and really didn't understand it is when i attended my husbands friends funeral whom just passed his family gave him a military funeral and when they salute the flag and the military personell and you see the flag draped over the casket it hits you like a ton of bricks right in the heart, you start to understand that all of the service members out here fighting for all of us are doing it because it is something to believe in and love for our country and then when they fold the flag and give it to the the family and they hold it in their hands and you see the pain and hurt in their eyes and hearts you can only appreciate the time and the service that they done for their country and it hits home right to the heart, and then when they salute the final salute to the service members whom has passed or whom is comming home it touches you in the deepest part of your heart. so when you ask do i mean it yes yes yes i do! my final thought is never forget that we as a country need to fight for what is ours, and we are one nation and we need to be proud, and appreciate what our service members previous, yesterday, today, and tommorow are fighting for and salute them for all of the heroic things that they go through because they believe in one nation under god and want to protect it so shouldn't we also. thank you for the question and i appreciate you asking this. god bless
