Codae just posted a thread about the Pledge of Allegiance in the ASB forum and that reminded me of something I'd intended.
The misunderstood version which schoolkids recite is...
I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the republic
For Richard Stands .. (for which it stands)
One nation, invisible . (indivisible)
With liberty and justice for all.
Your challenge is to explain the role of Richard Stands in US history, why he's in the pledge, and why the country is described as invisible.
