Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag


Een zelfbeschilderde T-shirt voor de 2de jaarkes MET de vlag van de United States.

The United States flag has 13 stripes.
Seven are red and 6 are white.
It also has 50 white stars on a blue background.
The stripes represent the 13 original colonies.
The 50 stars represent the 50 states in the U.S.


Daarbij hoort natuurlijk "The Pledge of Allegiance", die ze volgens Benjamin wel 2 keer per dag opzeggen, hand op de borst en met het gezicht naar de vlag.

Every citizen of the United States makes an important promise called "The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag".
When we make this pledge, we promise to be a good citizens. It is a duty for every American citizen to learn, understand and respect this pledge.

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.
