means a better understanding 'twixt men.
That it is incumbent upon me to fight for such freedom, even with my life.
That it is incumbent upon me, in my personal life, to be devoted to the highest standards
of honesty and justice.
That because my country is dedicated to the highest standards of freedom and justice
for all men of all creeds, I hereby pledge allegiance to my country, and to its national
symbol.
