Write down the Pledge of allegiance

The Pledge of Allegiance is a statement of loyalty to the United States:

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one
Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

The pledge was written by Francis Bellamy in 1892 and has undergone a few revisions since then The phrase
"under God" was added in 1954. It is often used as a symbol of unity and national identity, but it has also been
the subject of some controversy and debate over the years, particularly in relation to issues of freedom of speech
and religion.
