The Pledge of Allegiance
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.
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 sovereign
Nation of many sovereign 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.

The Star Spangled Banner
O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light. What so proudly we
hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright
stars, through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so
gallantly streaming.
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof
through the night that our Flag was still there. Oh, say does that Star
Spangled Banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the
brave?
O thus be it ever, when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation. Blest with victory
and peace, may the heaven- rescued land Praise the Power that hath
made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just; And this be our
motto: “In God is our trust!” And the star-spangled banner in triumph
shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
PREAMBLE OF THE CONSTITUTION
OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA
WE THE PEOPLE of the United States, in order to form a more perfect
Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings
of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America

ILLINOIS
By thy rivers gently flowing, Illinois, Illinois
O’er thy prairies verdant growing, Illinois, Illinois.
Comes an echo on the breeze, rustling through the
leafy trees, and its mellow tones are these, Illinois, Illinois,
And its mellow tones are these, Illinois.
From a wilderness of prairies, Illinois, Illinois.
Straight thy way and never varies, Illinois, Illinois.
Till upon the inland sea, stands thy great commercial tree,
Turning all the world to thee, Illinois, Illinois.
Turning all the world to thee, Illinois.
When you heard your country calling, Illinois, Illinois.
Where the shot and shell were falling, Illinois, Illinois,
When the Southern host withdrew,pitting Gray against the Blue,
There were none more brave than you, Illinois, Illinois,
There were none more brave than you, Illinois.
Not without thy wondrous story, Illinois, Illinois
Can be writ the nation’s glory, Illinois, Illinois.
On the record of thy years, Abra’m Lincoln’s name appears,
Grant, and Logan, and our tears, Illinois, Illinois
Grant, and Logan, and our tears, Illinois.
