what do we show loyalty to when the pledge of allegiance

We show loyalty to the United States of America , its flag, and the republic (system of government and nation) that the flag represents when we say the Pledge of Allegiance.

• The flag of the United States, as a symbol of the country and its people.

• The republic “for which it stands,” meaning the U.S. system of government and the nation organized under the Constitution.

• The idea of one nation, “indivisible,” committed to liberty and justice for all.
