    THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE


    (Клятва верности флагу США)

     It was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister


    Francis Bellamy (1855-1931).
     It was originally published in The Youth's Companion
    (журнал «Спутник молодежи) on September 8, 1892.

    “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands;


    one nation indivisible, with liberty and Justice for all.”

     In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower added “under


    God”
    RULES FOR TAKING THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
    TO THE FLAG
    In 1892, Francis Bellamy created the Bellamy salute.
     Should be rendered by
    standing at attention facing
    the flag with the right hand the Balch Salute.
    over the heart
     Uniform men should
    remove any non-religious
    headdress with their right
    hand and hold it at the left
    shoulder, the hand being
    over the heart.
     Persons in uniform should the hand outstretched
    remain silent, face the flag, toward the flag, palm down,
    and render the military and ended with the palm up
    salute."

    THE GREAT SEAL OF THE US
    (Большая печать США)

     It is kept in a mahogany cabinet (шкаф красного


    дерева) and displayed in the Exhibit Hall of the
    Department of State in Washington, D.C.

     On July 4, 1776, Benjamin Franklin, John


    Adams, and Thomas Jefferson were given the
    task of creating a seal for the 13 United States of
    America.

     The symbols on the seal reflect the beliefs and


    values that the Founding Fathers wanted to pass
    on to their descendants.

    THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT
     The monument is the world’s tallest obelisk and the tallest
    stone structure, made from marble, granite, and gneiss. The
    tower is rectangular at its base and topped with a pyramid.

     Was chosen a plan by Robert Mills for a 600-foot- (183-


    metre-) tall obelisk

     Although the design looks fairly simple, the structure would


    prove to be a difficult project for architect Robert Mills and
    the Washington National Monument Society. Due to
    ideological conflicts, lapses in funding, and disruptions
    during the Civil War, construction of the Washington
    Monument would not be completed until February 21, 1885.
