Most Americans know the Pledge of Allegiance. But very few know of the American's Creed. The Creed was adopted in 1918 by the US House of Representatives shortly after entering the First World War. It is a statement of the faith and responsibility all Americans share.

The American's Creed

I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the People, by the People, for the People; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic, a soverign Nation of many Soverign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of Freedom, Equality, Justice, and Humanity for which American Patriots sacrificed their Lives and Fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to Love it; to Support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to Respect its Flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
