| I pledge allegiance |
| I promise to be faithful and true (promise my loyalty) |
| to the Flag |
| to the emblem that stands for and represents |
| of the United States |
| all 50 states, each of them individual, and individually represented on the flag |
| of America |
| yet formed into a union of one nation. |
| and to the republic |
| And I also pledge to the government that is itself a Republic, a form of government where people are sovereign, |
| for which it stands, |
| this government is also being represented by the flag to which I promise loyalty. |
| one Nation under God, |
| These 50 individual states are united as a single Republic under the divine providence of God, " our most powerful resource " (according to the words of President Eisenhower) |
| Indivisible, |
| and can not be separated. |
| with Liberty |
| The people of this nation being afforded the Freedom to pursue life, liberty and happiness", |
| and Justice |
| and each person entitled to be treated justly, fairly and according to proper law and principle, |
| for All. |
| and these principles afforded to EVERY AMERICAN, regardless of race, religion, color, creed or any other criteria. Just as the flag represents 50 individual states that can not be divided or separated, this Nation represents millions of people who can not be separated or divided. |
