During a goosebump-inducing moment, a Hudson Valley High School student gives his definition of what it is to be an American.

Our Facebook page has been bombarded with passionate debate on both sides of the issue. There are valid positions for and against the reading of the pledge, but no matter what side you're on, this interview reminds us that sometimes the most intelligent answers come from the youngest voices.
