When"under god" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance was a comma before it? Is a pause after "one nation"?USA

Answer 1

The VFW Ladies Auxillary got all over my behind for pausing there. There is no comma, and therefore, no pause. It's one phrase. One nation under god.

Answer 2

the way we always said it in class was:

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.

I hate how they make us recite it that way. but the words in a natural spoken form would be:

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.

Answer 3

It goes like this:

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.

"one nation under God" is a single phrase.

Answer 4

I pledge allegiance (pause) to the flag (pause) of the United States of America....

It's called rhythm, like in a poem.

Answer 5

The ORIGINAL:
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all".

Answer 6

it's a comma. As in One Nation, Under God. We are one nation and we are under God and his rule. He did, after all, create us.

We wouldn't even be a nation w/o Him.

Answer 7

If I remember correctly, it is:
I retch allergic to the rag
of the white estates of america
and to the repugnance for which it scams
abomination under god
indefensible
with librium and pustules
for all

Answer 8

Yes that's how I was always taught. That's how Red Skelton says it too.
