I pledge allegianceI Promise to be faithful and true (Promise my loyalty)

To the flag

To the emblem that stands for and represents

Of the United States of America

all states, each of them individual, and individually represented on the flag

And to the republic for which it stands

And I also pledge my loyalty to the Government that is itself a Republic, a form of government where the PEOPLE are sovereign

One nation under God

These individual states are united as a single Republic under the Divine providence of God, "our most powerful resource" according to the words of President Eisenhower

Indivisible

Can not be separated. This part of the original version of the pledge was written just 30 years after the beginning of the Civil War and demonstrates the unity sought in the years after that divisive period in our history

With Liberty

The people of this Nation being afforded the freedom to pursue "life, liberty, and happiness"

And Justice

And each person entitled to be treated justly, fairly, and according to proper law and principle

for All

And these principles afforded to EVERY AMERICAN, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, or any other criteria. Just as the flag represents individual states that can not be divided or separated, this Nation represents millions of people who can not be separated or divided

  • Promising your loyalty to the flag itself and what it represents
  • Promising your loyalty to your own state and all others
  • Promising your loyalty to the government that unites us all

This is the complete text of the oath of allegiance. It pledges our loyalty to the country(USA), its Constitution, laws and not to any other country.

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
