Today marks the 50th anniversary of our nation's motto, "In God We Trust."
President Bush issued a Proclamation in recognition of the occasion: "From
its earliest days, the United States has been a Nation of faith. During the
War of 1812, as the morning light revealed that the battle-torn American
flag still flew above Fort McHenry, Francis Scott Key penned, 'And this be
our motto: "In God is our trust!"'... On July 30, 1956, President Dwight
Eisenhower signed the law officially establishing 'In God We Trust' as our
national motto... Today, our country stands strong as a beacon of religious
freedom. Our citizens, whatever their faith or background, worship freely
and millions answer the universal call to love their neighbor and serve a
cause greater than self."
