This is our pledge to our country. You hear it often. What does it mean?
"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!
