I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

and to the republic for which it stands,  one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

in the tropic heat of the Pacific Islands,

in the subzero cold of the skies over Germany,

Fighting over an area extending seven-eighths of the way around the world.

the close-packed streets of Manhattan, Chicago;

the teeming factories of Detroit, Los Angeles;

the endless stretching distances of the Southwest;

bookkeepers; soda jerks; mechanics; college students;

Yet two years ago many had never fired a gun or seen the ocean or been off the ground.

Americans, fighting for their country while half a world away from it.

Fighting for their country, and for more than their country.

Fighting for an idea, the idea bigger than the country.

Without the idea the country might have remained only a wilderness.

Without the country, the idea might have remained only a dream.

Here was America: the sea, the sky, the virgin continent.

We came in search of freedom, facing unknown dangers rather than bend the knee or bow to tyranny.

Out of the native oak and pine we built a house, a church, a watchtower.

We cleared a field, and there grew up a colony of free citizens.

We carved new states out of the green wilderness: Virginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Carolina.

Then came the first test in the defense of that liberty: 1775, Lexington.

“Colonists are by the law of nature free-born, as indeed all men are!”

“It is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government.”

“These are the times that try men’s souls.”

“But as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

In the midst of battle, it happened.  The idea grew, the idea took form.

Something new was expressed by men, a new and revolutionary doctrine, the greatest creative force in human relations:

all men are created equal, all men are entitled to the blessings of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Defeat meant hanging.  Victory meant a world in which Americans rule themselves.

We fought and froze, suffered and died, for what?

A few of us doubted and despaired.  Most of us prayed and endured all.

The new idea had won its first test.  Now to pass it on to future Americans.

The Constitution, the sacred charter of “We the People,”

the blood and sweat of “We the People,”

the life, liberty, and happiness of “We the People.”

Not some of the people, not the best people or the worst, not the rich people or the poor,

In this brotherhood America was born,  one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

We began as 13 states along the Atlantic seaboard.

We pushed across the Alleghenies, the Ohio River, the Mississippi, the last far range of the distant Rockies.

No aristocratic classes here, no kings, no nobles or princes, no state church, no courts, no parasites, no divine right of man to rule a man.

Here humanity was making a clean fresh start from scratch.

Behind us we left new states, chips off the old blocks welded together by freedom.

Chorus: ♪ My country, 'tis of thee, ♪ ♪ Sweet land of liberty, ♪

♪ Land where my fathers died, ♪ ♪ Land of the pilgrims' pride, ♪

♪ From every mountainside ♪ ♪ Let freedom ring! ♪

Narrator:  Until finally we were one nation, a land of hope and opportunity  that had arisen out of a skeptical world.

From every country and every clime, men saw that light and turned their faces toward it.

Give me your tired, your poor, 	Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, 	I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

As strangers to one another we came and built a country, and the country built us into Americans.

The sweat of the men of old nations was poured out to build a new.

The sweat of our first settlers: the English, the Scotch, the Dutch, building the workshop of New England;

of the Italian in the sulfur mines of Louisiana;

of the Frenchmen and the Swiss in the vineyards of California and New York state;

of the Dane, the Norwegian, the Swede, seeding the good earth to make the Midwest bloom with grain;

of the Negro harvesting cotton in the hot Southern sun;

of the Spaniard, the first to roam the great Southwest;

of the Mexican in the oil fields of Texas and on the ranches of New Mexico;

of the Greek and the Portuguese, harvesting the crop the oceans yield;

of the Irishman, the Slav, and the Chinese working side-by-side

– the sweat of Americans.  And a great nation was built.

Yes, the sweat of the men of all nations built America – and the blood.

For the blood of Americans has been freely shed.

Five times in our history have we withstood the challenge to the idea that made our nation:

the idea of equality for all men; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
