Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States

 By proclamation of President Benjamin Harrison, the pledge was
 first used on October 12, 1892.

 The original wording of the pledge was as follows:

     I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which
     it stands: one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice
     for all.

 The newly worded pledge was adopted officially on Flag Day, June 14, 1954.
    
     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.
    
  When reciting the pledge of allegiance, civilians should stand at
  attention or with the right hand over the heart. Men should remove
  their hats.  Armed services personnel in uniform face the flag and
  give the military salute.
