What does pledging alligiance mean?

“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.”

–– 1954

The Pledge of Allegiance is a solemn promise of loyalty to the United States of America and its flag. Originally written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, the pledge has undergone several revisions over the years. The current 31-word version, established in 1954, reads: “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”. This patriotic recitation is commonly performed in schools, government meetings, and public events, with participants standing at attention, facing the flag, and placing their right hand over their heart. The Pledge of Allegiance serves as a unifying expression of American values, emphasizing the principles of national unity, liberty, and justice for all citizens.
