// Author: Emma Lazarus // Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed, I lift my lamp beside the golden door. for Dr. Baylen

**Pledge of Allegiance** //Original Author: Francis Bellamy (1892) //  //Modified by National Flag Conference (1923) //   //Modified by the Congress of the United States of America (1954) // I pledge allegiance to the flag Of the United States of America. And to the republic, for which it stands, One nation, under God, indivisible, With liberty and justice for all. for Dr. Baylen

Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18pt;"> On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18pt;"> Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! for Dr. Baylen
