The Beauty of the 50 States
"O beautiful for spacious skies,
for amber waves of grain, for purple mountains' majesty above the
fruited plain..."
Yes, America is indeed beautiful;
from the charm of New England on the eastern coast to the deep blue
lakes of Minnesota; to the towering Great Smokey mountains, to the
golden wheat fields in Kansas; to the majestic Grand Canyon, to the
colorful Painted Desert; to the giant redwoods in California on the
western coast. We are proud of our beautiful America and pledge
ourselves to help keep her beautiful. There is beauty in each of the 50
states and our American flag represents those states.
Will you join me in the Pledge of
Allegiance? |
