Pledge Of Allegiance
By Red Skeleton
"I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance
all semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. If I
may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word?"
I.....me, an individual, a committee of one.
Pledge.....dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self pity.
Allegiance.....my love and my devotion.
To the flag.....our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever she
waves, there's respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that
shouts freedom is everybody's job!
United.....that means that we have all come together.
States.....individual communities that have united into 48 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's
love for country.
And to the republic.....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.
For which it stands, one nation.....one nation, meaning "so blessed by God"
Indivisible.....incapable of being divided.
With liberty.....which is freedom -- the right of power to live one's own
life without threats, fear or some sort of retaliation.
And Justice.....the principle or quality of dealing fairly with others.
For all. For all.
Which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it
is mine.
Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country and two
words have been added to the pledge of Allegiance... UNDER GOD
Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer and that would be
eliminated from schools too?
