Editor’s Corner: “I Pledge Allegiance”

• I pledge allegiance - I promise my loyalty;

• to the flag - to the symbol that stands to represent;

•of the United States of America - each and every of the 50 states that form the united nation of America;

•and to the Republic - a country where people choose their representative to form the government and represent them;

•for which it stands, one nation - the flag that stands for one country;

•under God - there is one Supreme entity for every citizen;

•indivisible - a country that cannot be divided;

•with Liberty - complete freedom of life and living being given to the citizens;

•and Justice - fair treatment being promised by the law of the land;

•for all - for each and every citizen of the country.

Need I say more? No, I think that about covers it this week!
