Trump Administration Celebrates "One Nation Under God"
17 hours ago
In preparation for the 250th birthday of our country, the Trump administration is asking U.S. citizens to come together in prayer.
Ahead of independence day last year, President Donald Trump said this in Iowa on July 3rd:
"As we prepare to celebrate two and a half centuries of freedom, I am inviting America's great religious communities to pray for our nation and for our people. From the beginning, this has always been a country sustained and strengthened by prayer. So important, if we bring religion back stronger, you're going to see everything get better and better and better. So, as we chart our course for the next 250 years, let us rededicate ourselves to one nation under God."
The White House is asking Americans to dedicate one hour a week to praying for our country and our people. Calling it an opportunity to rededicate ourselves to the principles that gave birth to this land of liberty.
And - did you know this fun fact.... The phrase "under God" was officially added to the pledge of allegiance on June 14th, 1954, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He added it to contrast American ideals with "godless" Soviet communism during the Cold War.
