The Pledge of Allegiance ....
I - me, an individual, a committee of one.
Pledge - dedicate all my worldly goods to give without self pity.
Allegiance - my love and devotion.
To the flag - our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Where she waves, there is respect
because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job.
Of the United - that means we have all come together.
States - individual communities that have united into 50 great states. Fifty individual
communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united
to common purpose, and that's for love of country.
Of America ...
And to the Republic - republic is 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 under God - The nation, meaning "so blessed by God"
Indivisible - incapable of being divided.
With liberty - which is freedom and the right of power to live one's own life without threats
or fears of some sort of retaliation.
And Justice - the principle or quality of dealing fairly with others.
For all - which means, ladies and gentlemen, it's as much your country as it is mine.
When an American says that he loves his country,
he means not only that he loves the New England hills,
the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains,
the great mountains, and the sea.
He means that he loves an inner air,
an inner light in which freedom lives and in which
a man can draw a breath of self-respect
