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

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed,at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight. O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming, And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there, Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.

From this day forward, I sincerely promise, I will set an example for all other youth to follow and I shall never do anything that would bring disgrace or dishonor upon my God, my Country, and its flag, my parents, or the Young Marines. These I will honor and respect in a manner that will reflect credit upon them and myself
