“Tomorrow, Friday, October 12, America's schoolchildren, all of the schools across the country, are invited to join in delivering simultaneously the Pledge of Allegiance. This is a nationwide synchronized Pledge of Allegiance that will take place in schools across the country. It will be 2 p.m. here on the East Coast, 1 o'clock central time, noon mountain time, 11 a.m. in my home State of California, Pacific time, 10 a.m. in Alaska, 8 a.m. in Hawaii. Students and teachers will all join at that time in reciting those simple words, ``I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag.'' The President is also going to join in this national ceremony tomorrow at the precise time from the White House. It is going to be an unprecedented moment, and I think a poignant one, to honor our country, our dead, and our freedom. I would add also that the Pledge across America is not a government program or a government initiative. We did not come up with the idea. It came from the people, from a grass-roots effort started by one very determined woman.”
