I thought we pledge our allegiance to the flag and all things that the flag represents....the flag being the symbolic of the visions/realities of our forefathers
We do,Misty, I think what Sam is trying to say is that most people are not aware that when we say the pledge, it is to more than a piece of cloth, if you will. (I mean no disrespect). The pledge is to what that flag represents. If it weren't for the exixtance of this country and if our freedom was just a pipe dream. the Old Glory is just a piece of cloth.
But you and I both know it's much, much more! When we say the Pledge of alleniance we say it to The United States of America, The land and way of life the flag represents.
