Pledges & Salutes to Our Flags

These are the pledges and salutes we recite at every SCV meeting.

	Pledge to the flag of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 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.
	Pledge to the GEORGIA Flag I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE GEORGIA STATE FLAG AND TO PRINCIPLES FOR WHICH IT STANDS, WISDOM, JUSTICE AND MODERATION.
	Salute to the CONFEDERATE Flag I SALUTE THE CONFEDERATE FLAG WITH AFFECTION, REVERENCE AND UNDYING DEVOTION TO THE CAUSE* FOR WHICH IT STANDS.

Protocol:  Everyone stands for the Pledges and Salute and any hats are removed.  As each begins, everyone faces the flag being honored.  For the pledges to the U.S. Flag and the Georgia Flag, the right hand is placed over the heart.  For the Salute to the Confederate Flag, the hand is held toward the Flag with palm up.
