The Pledge of Allegiance...  Thought Through

I -- me, an individual, a committee of one.

Pledge -- dedicate all my worldly goods to give without self pity.

Allegiance -- my love and devotion.

To the flag -- our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Where she waves, there is respect because
your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job.

Of the United -- that means we have all come together.

States -- individual communities that have united into 50 great states. Fifty individual communities
with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to common purpose,
and that's for love of country.

Of America

And to the Republic for which it stands, -- republic is 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 UNDER GOD -- The nation, meaning "so blessed by God"

Indivisible -- incapable of being divided.

With liberty -- which is freedom and the right of power to live one's own life without threats
or fears of some sort of retaliation.

And Justice -- the principle or quality of dealing fairly with others.
For all -- which means, ladies and gentlemen, it's as much your country as it is mine.


NOTE: These words were spoken by the late Red Skelton on his television program
as he related the story of his teacher, Mr. Laswell, who felt his students had come to
think of the Pledge of Allegiance as merely something to recite in class each day.
