The Bear Den opened the evenings program with "USA" followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
Our country's name expresses the principles that we hold sacred as citizens of the United States of America.
"U" is for united. We are a country of citizens united under one government and dedicted to the cause of freedom and peace.
"S" is for states. Our country is a union of 50 states. We are proud of our individual histories, but we come together to defend what is right.
"A" is for America - a land of promise filled with opportunity and beauty. America is a patchwork quilt of cultures and a stronghold of religious liberty.
