The Pledge of Allegiance is a special promise we make to the United States and its beautiful flag. Every morning, many children stand up and put their right hand over their heart to say these important words. It is a way to say “I love my country” and promise to be a helpful citizen!
When we say the pledge, we are promising to work together as one big team. We say that our country is a place where everyone should be free and treated with kindness. It’s like giving the United States a big, warm hug with our words!
