The Pledge of Allegiance

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 under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

As a child growing up in the 1950’s this was the start of every school day and no longer a part of our children’s curriculum. Of course, we also had Air Raid Drills where we would all march in single line to a basement, go to a specific corner of the building, knell and place our head low and our hands over it protectively. Oh yes, this would have saved our little bodies from the big one had Russia ever followed though,

A Marine has posted what this phrase means to him on his site and it is very moving, I highly recommend everyone read it.
