I know you remember this very well. Woody is a person who taught us all how to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Because we think we know how to say it. We all memorized it as a little kid: ``I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.'' Woody would always say: One Nation under God--do not stop, do not hesitate at ``one Nation.'' It is ``one Nation under God.'' It is not ``one Nation.'' ``Under God with liberty and justice for all.'' He corrected us, and he never would let us say it without going with no pause because he said we are a nation under God. And I will never forget. He drove that home so many times to all of us. So the young pages here, I hope you will remember that. With that, maybe we should do a ``happy birthday'' together to Woody because he is probably watching. So together, you and I? Happy birthday, Woody.
