The Meaning of the Pledge of Allegiance
The following is taken from the 11th Edition of the Boy Scout Handbook, page 6.
(Copyright Boy Scouts of America, 1998)
| When you pledge allegiance to the flag, you promise loyalty and devotion to your nation: |
| I pledge allegiance… You promise to be true |
| … to the flag … to the emblem of your country |
| … of the United States of America … a nation made up of fifty states and several territories, each with certain rights of its own |
| … and to the republic … a country where the people elect representatives from among themselves to make laws for them |
| … for which it stands … the flag represents the United States of America |
| … one nation under God, … a country whose people are free to believe in God |
| … indivisible, … the flag represents the United States of America |
| … with liberty and justice … with freedom and fairness |
| … for all. … for every person in the country - you and every other American |
