The US Flag

The Pledge of Allegiance – A Interpretation

" I Pledge Allegiance, To the Flag of the United States, And to The Republic

For which it stands, one nation, Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty and

Justice For All”.

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's 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 50 great states.

Fifty individual communities with pride and dignity and

purpose; all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to

a common purpose, and that's love for country.

And to the 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 quality of dealing fairly with others.

For all -- which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.
