On This Day In History…

On this day in 2000, then-Governor Paul Patton signed the Kentucky Pledge of Allegiance into law. My fourth period was stunned to learn of the Pledge’s existence. Do you know it?

I pledge allegiance

To the Kentucky flag,

And to the Sovereign State

For which it stands.

One Commonwealth,

Blessed with diversity,

Natural wealth and beauty,

and grace from on High.
