Pledge of Allegiance

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, (pause) and to the republic for which it stands, (pause) One Nation under God, (pause) indivisible, (pause) with liberty and justice for all.

 Hear Red Skelton's Version

 

I 

You and me, an individual, a person

PLEDGE

Take a vow, an oath, a promise.

ALLEGIANCE

Duty owed to your country, observance of obligation.

TO THE FLAG

A symbol of liberty, freedom, that which we as free men and women do so jealously cherish.

OF THE UNITED STATES

Joined together, combined, produced by two or more persons, union our forefathers put together in 1776, to make us a united people free of a tyrant or an oppressor.

OF AMERICA

A land blessed with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.  A land full of natural resources, a land where anyone can do what he/she wants as long as it does not violate the rights of another.

AND TO THE REPUBLIC

A state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote, and is exercised by elected representatives.

FOR WHICH IT STANDS

A flag known throughout the world as a symbol of freedom.  A nation in which people can worship as they please, speak and not be afraid of being censored for what they say or to express an opinion in writing, and not be afraid of being arrested for writing what they feel.

ONE NATION

A body of people associated with a particular territory, who are conscious of their unity.  One body of people speaking the same language, and yet opening doors to those foreign to us and saying welcome.

 (UNDER GOD)

Meaning we have been so blessed.

INDIVISIBLE

Incapable of being divided.  Even with our own internal problems our people, when sensing someone trying to take away our freedom, will answer the call to put down an adversary.  We will unite.

WITH LIBERTY

Freedom from outside control.  Freedom from captivity, freedom from dictatorship, the right to choose our own government.

AND JUSTICE

The quality of being just, equitable, fair treatment for all, regardless of social background or economic standing.  The right to be heard, to see our accusers, to question why.

FOR ALL

Not just a chosen few, but for everyone in the land.
