In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “I Pledge Allegiance.”

The word “patriotic” sends my thoughts to a time during my childhood where the foundation to understand and appreciate the words’ pledge, oath, honor, and being patriotic were developed.

My education and understanding of these words began with my community when I took my religious oath, my Boy Scout oath, my US Army oath, and the oath for my career.
