The U.S. Senate made a special announcement to celebrate the birthday of the American flag, which is now 247 years old. They also talked about how saying the Pledge of Allegiance is an important way for people in America to show their love and togetherness, and they think it's really good to keep saying it.

H.R. 1351 wants schools that get certain money from the government to make sure kids say the Pledge of Allegiance every day and put up the American Flag where everyone can see it. People don't have to say the Pledge if they have a good reason not to, like if it's against their beliefs.
