Growing up in the 60s and 70s, I remember reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of every day while attending elementary school. One student would stand in the front of the class, next to the flag, and hold it out to display the Stars and Stripes, while the rest of us put our right hands over our hearts and recited the lines. 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.
It always seemed so much longer as a child. It wasn t until I was an adult that I realized it really was only one sentence long.but what a message in that sentence!
