Re: Students standing during pledge - Reply to Phil
Posted by Darlene on 1/17/07

    Chuckling to myself as I think back 20 years ago in rural Georgia. I
    was a new teacher and each morning all the school stood with their
    hand on their hearts and sang to the top of their lungs the Lee
    Greenwood country song, "I'm Proud to be an American". I think the
    houses a mile away could hear them. Sorry, just a funny memory.
