Pros And Cons Of Allegiance To The United States

Improved Essays
As an American, I believe that America is a breathtaking province. We, as a people, feel safe because there are soldiers willing to defend our nation. I am proud to support these men and women. When saying the American Pledge, “ 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 makes me proud to live here.

No one should act scoffingly, or be tactless towards Veterans. After all, look what they have done for us. Thank you veterans, because I could not even imagine America without

    Take a Stand (Rough Draft) “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,” (enforced by President Eisenhower, 1954).

Based on the constitution, religion is only mentioned twice as respect but not to honor it. In this day in age equality is a big deal. We have had so many incidences where our equality has been challenged.…
