| "I pledge allegiance" |
I promise to be true |
| "to the flag" |
to the symbol of our
country |
| "of the United States of
America" |
each state that has joined to
make our country |
| "and to the Republic" |
a republic is a country where
the people choose others to make laws for them -- the
government is for the people |
| "for which it stands," |
the flag means the country |
| "one Nation" |
a single country |
| "under God," |
the people believe in a supreme
being |
| "indivisible," |
the country cannot be split into
parts |
| "with liberty and justice" |
with freedom and fairness |
| "for all." |
for each person in the
country...you and me! |
The pledge says you are promising to be
true to the United States of America! |
