I - - Me; an
individual; a committee of one.
Pledge
- - Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without
self-pity.
Allegiance - - My love
and my devotion.
To the Flag
- - Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of
Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has
given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job.
United - - That means
that we have all come together.
States
- - Individual communities that have united
into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with
pride and dignity and purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet
united to a common purpose, and that is love for country.
And to the Republic - -
Republic--a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives
chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's
from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
For which it stands
One Nation - - One
Nation--meaning, so blessed by God.
Indivisible - -
Incapable of being divided.
With Liberty - - Which
is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats,
fear, or some sort of retaliation.
And Justice - - The
principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others.
For All - - For
All--which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to
the Republic, for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty
and justice for all.
