Words To Live By!

Let's review...

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!

I-The person who greets you in the mirror each and every morning!

Pledge- To take an oath, in this case orally!

Allegiance- Loyalty, unity

To the flag- That red white and blue symbol of our nation representing the original 13 colonies and the 50 states.

Of The United States of America- The country we are citizens of, live in, and abide by it's laws.

And to the Republic- That's a representative republic, not a democracy as our students are led to believe in school. Where we have a system of checks and balances, not the popular vote or mob rule as a democracy is defined.

For which it stands- The flag is a symbol of our freedom, the struggle and victory of our forefathers. It's an icon to all those worldwide that live in oppression and tyranny. A symbol of hope and prosperity!

One nation- A collection of states acting in concert to make the beautiful music of liberty!

Under God- Built under the umbrella of the moral Judeo-Christian principles. The foundation of our nation.

Indivisible- Incapable of undergoing division. Solid!

With liberty- The ability to have choices available!

And justice- Justice applied equally, not defined by the color of your skin, your religion, or your social status.

For all- Bar none, if your a legal citizen, your entitled to all of the above.

I just woke up this morning and felt the need to clarify this. Children are taught the words,and rattle them off, but I'm not so certain they are taught the meaning. We should never take this for granted.

God Bless!
