On National Pledge of Allegiance Day, the President emphasizes the importance of the Pledge as a shared commitment that unites citizens around the values of the United States. Established in 1892, the Pledge serves as a reminder of every American’s responsibilities and dedication to their country, represented by the Flag. In conjunction with this observance, the Administration has implemented measures to protect the dignity of the Flag, including accountability for acts of desecration and the possible revocation of immigration privileges for those who show disrespect towards it.
