Yet. no matter what the issue of the day. we in the House of Representatives begin each day with the pledge of allegiance. At that point. we discard all other labels and collectively honor the flag which brings us together as one nation. Not that the flag represents identical things to all of us. To the veteran it may represent the challenges and triumphs of the battlefield. To an immigrant it may represent unimagined opportunity. To a skeptic it ensures the right to disagree while to many others it represents the power of majority rule. Americans live and think and work and worship in many different waysnot always compatibly and not always politely. but always under the same flag.
