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.

By William Tyler Page I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a Perfect Union, one ans inseparable; established upon those prinicples of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed thier lives and fortunes. I therefore belive it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

By Francis Scott Key Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming; Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming; And the rockets' red glare, the bombs burting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand Between thier homes and the war's desolation! Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us as a nation! Then conquer we must when our cause is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!" And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
