Yes, well, I think there are many definitions of what it means to be an American today. Not sure I agree with a lot of them. Our world has certainly changed...
Well, that sign will soon be removed once the commie-liberal-Black Lies Matter-self-important-snowflakes figure out where it is. But, wait; that would take the skill of map reading without a GPS. Yeah, the sign is safe for now. Unfortunately, "we" are no longer a team. "We" use to be exceptional and uncommon as a team; Team America. Our POTUS has ensured we're divided, self-centered and professional victims who whine continually. I agree - this out to be read out every morning along with the Pledge of Alligance in EVERY school and work place where Citizens actually work and study. Copies of this sign / creed should be placed in every public place; by every monument to what real Americans are about.
It's a photoshopped image. These words are not found on any monument, any where. Sent out and repeated and repeated and repeated until folks think it's real. It's not. Sorry
This is Dean Alfange's "An American's Creed" written in 1950. It should not be confused with "The American's Creed", the title of a resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on April 3, 1918. It is a statement written in 1917 by William Tyler Page:
I believe in the United States of America, as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.
Too many have forgotten what it means to be an American. I always hope they will soon remember.
