On the recordOctober 26, 2005

I rise today to recognize 16-year-old Katelin Richter, a student at Watertown-Mayer High School in my hometown. Katelin recently wrote an essay on the importance and relevance of the Pledge of Allegiance, which was published in a large newspaper in our home State. The theme of Katelin's essay is that the language of the Pledge of Allegiance is the core values held by Americans, that we are one Nation under God, and that it should not be attacked by activist judges. I think she is right. Madam Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize the patriotism of Katelin Richter. It is through young voices such as hers that our great Nation will remain strong. ____________________
