Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight O’er the ramparts we watched, Were so gallantly, yeah, streaming? And the rockets’ red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

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.

Alma Mater Washington, Washington, School of Victory, We thy faithful sons and daughters Pledge our loyalty … forever. Ever onward, never falter, this our song shall be, Alma Mater Washington. Hail, hail to thee! Hail to Washington!
