I Pledge Allegiance          By Red Skelton I--me, an individual, a committee of one Pledge-- dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self pity Allegiance-- my love and 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! of the United -- That means we have all come together. States-- Individual communities that have united into 48 great states.Fourty 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 -- 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 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-- 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 was a prayer and that it be eliminated from our schools too?
