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 is 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 forty-eight great
states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and
purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common
purpose, and that is love for country.

And to the Republic - - 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 qualities, of dealing fairly with others.

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


And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the
Republic, for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all.
Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two
words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: Under God. Wouldn't it be
a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from
schools, too?
Red Skelton

(As a schoolboy, one of Red Skelton's teachers explained the words and
meaning of the Pledge of Allegiance to his class. Skelton later wrote down,
and eventually recorded, his recollection of this lecture. It is followed by
an observation of his own. )

Enjoy Your Independence Day and let us all hope that those nations currently
without independence will achieve it too!
