Every morning in almost every school in America a very important promise is made. It is called "The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag."

Why is this promise important?

What does it really mean?

In this exciting book, Captain Calvert, in simple words, explains the meaning of each part and gives some history of our country and of our flag. And Mr. Daugherty recreates, in beautiful color pictures, high points of America's past and present.
