Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”, should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute.”

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag is a formal promise of loyalty to the United States of America. It should be recited in English to have its full meaning. On July 4, Independence Day, with all the flag waving, parades and fireworks, let us remember our promise of loyalty to the United States of America, and to honor those brave souls, living and dead, that preserve this privilege to us and future generations.
