Yes, yes, and yes.

I am an "Air Force brat" and I was raised to respect our country, our flag, and everything our flag stands for.

My little breakdown of the Pledge of Allegiance:

I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, --- Right, I do pledge allegiance to my country so I will pledge allegiance to the flag that symbolizes it.

one Nation under God, --- This is about the only thing that bugs me in the Pledge of Allegiance because our Government sure doesn't act like it is under God...

indivisible, --- We better be indivisible otherwise we will lose the freedom we have if another group/country divides and conquers us.

with liberty and justice for all. --- Was this line written with me in mind? Probably not...but as a citizen of the U.S. I am entitled to both liberty and justice. Granted the liberties are regulated and the justice isn't perfect but I will take that over no liberty and no justice system any day.
