meeting was held at the City Hall in Gladewater, Texas. The location of City Hall is 519 East Broadway. It was held on Thursday, October 20, 2016. As people gathered for the meeting I received signatures from board members including the mayor of Gladewater. To commence with was the call to order. Next, was the invocation and then the Pledge of Allegiance? I appreciated the fact that God was put before all else then our great nation. The first major happening was the citizen comments. Citizens were allowed to get up before the committee and bring up and issues that they felt as if needed to be addressed. One man spoke for several minutes concerning GEDCO. GEDCO is Gladewater Economic Development. He was very adamant about being nominated for a place on the board of GEDCO. He almost seemed obsessed with the idea of being a GEDCO board member. Ultimately, he was voted out of the position. I believe that I must agree with the decision. Maybe he was a bit fanatical in my opinion. …show more content…

    Summary: Clinical Observation

    I’ve had the opportunity of completing my clinical rotation at Baptist Hospital with the medical team in which I've observed the different participants in the collaborative team and the specific role each person played. The team consists of physicians, surgeons, social worker, ARNP, physical therapist, and occupational therapist. While observing the team, the best outcome for the patient's treatment and prognosis is focused on before being discharged. For example, if the patient does not have insurance coverage, community resources are addressed to assist and provide the patient with the proper care post discharge. Learning how cares for patients that have been newly diagnosed with various neurological diseases as well as their long-term care…

    The Pledge Of Allegiance By Francis Bellamy

    For more than 120 years, American children have recited the Pledge of Allegiance as part of their school day. Today, these 31 words serve as a unifying oath for all Americans. Controversy continues over whether the author was the chairman of the committee, Francis Bellamy--who worked in the promotions department of a magazine for young people that published the pledge called the Youth’s Companion --or James Upham, who worked for the publishing firm that produced the magazine.…

    National Pledge Controversy

    To Remain Under God Controversy spreads widely on a topic that has yet to be settled: the appropriateness of the expression “under God” in America’s national Pledge. Supporters of the saying believe that it instills a sense of safety, humbleness, and morality. They approve of the phrase whereas critics condemn it for its hostility. Contestants argue that the saying imposes a monotheistic conviction, a religious declaration, and the fear of out casting on an entire nation whose people are not all the same.…

    Engel Vs Vitale Summary

    In 1962, the Supreme Court settled a dispute between the New York State Board of Regents and the New York Civil Liberties Union representing five families in New Hyde Park, New York. Several years before, the Board of Regents had written a prayer for the purpose of “supplementing the training of the home, ever intensifying in the child that love for God…which is the mark of true character, training, and a sure guarantee of a country’s welfare.” The recommended prayer read: Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country. A substantial amount of local pubic school boards adopted it to be read at the beginning of every school day.…

    Pledge Of Allegiance

    Originally written as a salute to the American flag, the Pledge of Allegiance has been recited by millions of schoolchildren every morning since its debut during the 1892 Columbus Day Celebration. The revised oath is viewed as a patriotic representation of America’s virtues. Above all national symbols, nothing has provoked as much controversy as the issue on the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. Beginning in the early 2000s, there has been an increase in schools dismissing the Pledge from their morning routines after some have argued that it violates the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. The Pledge of Allegiance should be rehearsed in public schools because it reminds students of the country’s founding principles,…

    The Pledge Of Allegiance

    Justice Sandra Day O’Conner said in the Newdon Pledge case, “[T]he presence of these words is not absolutely essential to the Pledge as demonstrated by the fact that it existed without them for over 50 years.” (D) The words that Justice O’Conner refers to are “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. Ever since they were added, there has been a debate on whether these words should remain in the Pledge, or should be removed because of religious complaints. Some say these words constitute a form of prayer, but others say God is what this country is based on.…

    The Importance Of Memorizing The Pledge Of Allegiance

    Land of the “Free” Memorizing the Pledge of Allegiance is a flashback to the kindergarten days. Not knowing what the pledge was or what it stood for, but having to stand each morning, place our right hand over our heart, and monotonously recite the pledge like robots. However, engraving the pledge into these young minds goes against many religions that do not believe in a God. Having them say the pledge either forces them to recognize that there is a God or protest against the pledge. For those that do not believe in God, the alteration of the pledge is a must, in order to maintain a neutral religious government in the land of the free.…
