RESOLUTION NO. 2002-060
WHEREAS, the United States of America is a nation born in revolution and tested by conflict
which has threatened its very existence; and
WHEREAS, we remain one people, united in our commitment to one another, to our nation,
and to our flag as a symbol of that nation and our unity; and
WHEREAS, our values include our right to disagree with one another and our system of
government even allows use of our court system to challenge the propriety of
the wording of our pledge of allegiance to our nation's flag; and
WHEREAS, at least one court decision has been rendered declaring unconstitutional the
reference in the pledge of allegiance to our flag, the term "under God;" and
WHEREAS, this body is saddened and concerned that this matter has even been raised at a
time when the nation is again facing external threats to its security which remind
us of our need for unity, for each other, and for the God under which this nation
exists; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND
HILLS, TEXAS:
Section 1 :
That the City ofN orth Richland Hills supports the current wording of the Pledge
of Allegiance.
AND IT IS SO RESOLVED.
PASSED on the 8th day of July, 2002.
