Me; an individual; a committee of one.

Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.

My love and my devotion.

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.

That means that we have all come together.

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.

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.

One Nation - meaning, so blessed by God.

Incapable of being divided.

Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation.

The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others.

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

Since I was a young man, two states have been added to our country and two words have been added to the pledge of Allegiance...

Wouldn't it be a pity if someone decided that it is now a prayer and it too would be eliminated from schools and public events?
