Time to run this one again.

"The Ex-Prisoner of War Pledge of Allegiance


I pledge allegiance to the flag ...

I am an American. I was a Prisoner of War. I have served my country. I need no one to tell me what allegiance I owe to my flag, to my country, to my home.

Of the United States of America ...

This is my country. I have fought for it. I have been imprisoned for it, and many have died for it.

And to the Republic for which it stands ...

This flag stands for me, for love of my country, for love of my family, for love of my friends. I did not forsake it when I was starved, when I was beaten, or when some were killed.

One nation under God, indivisible ...

I am one man. I have one country, America. I worship one God. Under God I was captured; under God I was saved; under God I have no fear.

With liberty and justice for all ...

My allegiance is to liberty, to justice. My flag represents the best of myself, my effort, my home, my country. I will pledge allegiance to the flag. I will pledge under the love of God. It is my right, my privilege, my duty. I have earned it. Tell me not how. I have given you much. I am an Ex-Prisoner of War. Take nothing more from me.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of my country. "
