I am glad that President Barack Obama decided to wear a flag lapel pin as President. He started wearing the pin again after a veteran gave him a pin in Pittsburgh on April 15, 2008, while Obama was campaingning there, so Obama wore it all day, and then more regularly thereafter.
As Obama originally said, a flag pin is not a substitute for true patriotism, nor is it proof of such patriotism. But it is a nice thing to honor the symbol of one's country, and it also honors all the men and women who have died to keep us free. So this is a very good decision, Mr. President. And I appreciate it when you say the little prayer at the end of each of your speeches, "God bless the United States of America."
Happy Fourth of July to Mr. Obama and family. And let us all remember to pray for the President each day. Whether you voted for him or whether you agree with him on specific policies, he is our president and we need to pray for our leaders. In fact, if you do not agree with his policies, it might be all the more reason for you to pray that God might bless him with wisdom and discernment.
