Every morning in school, we say the Pledge of Allegiance.
We stand up, face the flag, and put our hand on our hearts.
This shows respect.
The Pledge talks about being loyal to the United States.
In 1954, the words 'under God' were added.
Some people like this, but others do not.
They think it mixes religion with government.
Saying the Pledge helps kids feel proud of their country and understand what it means to be American.
