PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one national under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

THE MEANING OF THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

of the United States of America... a nation made up of 50 states and several territories, each with certain rights of its own

and to the republic... a country where the people elect their representitives from its own citizens to make laws for them

for which it stands... the flag represents the United States of America

one nation, under God... a country whose foundation was built upon religious faith and freedom for one to believe
