I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG:
"What do those words mean to you? To
me, they say, thank you America, for your strength, your courage, and
for our freedom... you've been a beacon to the world, for two hundred
years. "
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:\
"Whose bright stars are fifty states,
each bearing it's own stamp of individuality. People, two hundred million
strong. People, who have come to us from all corners of the earth."
AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS:
" A land of laws. An ingenious
system of checks and balances, that allows no man to become a tyrant,
and lets no group prevail, if their power is not tempered with real
concern for the government. A land where the right of dissent, and free
speech are jealously guarded, where ballot boxes are swords and the
people its wielders.
ONE NATION UNDER GOD:
" A land where freedom of worship, is the cornerstone
of her being. A land graced with temples and churches, synagogues and
alters, that rise in profusion, to embrace all the religions of the
world.
INDIVISIBLE:
"A land forged by the hot steel of raw courage, and formed
forever by the awful crucible, civil war."
WITH LIBERTY:
" That a man in pursuit of an honest life, will not be
denied his chance. Where her citizens move freely within her vast borders
without hindrance or fear. A land brimming with opportunity, where freedom
of choice is the guideline for all."
AND JUSTICE:
"The courts of our land are open to all. It's wheels of
justice grind for all causes, all people. They look to every avenue
for justice, every concern of the law, and they temper their reasoning
with mercy, for all."
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America,
and to the republic for which it stands.
One nation, under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.
