Debout, la main droite sur le cœur, ils jurent fidélité et loyauté aux États-Unis d'Amérique en prononçant ces paroles : 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. Les immigrants qui prennent la nationalité américaine prêtent ce même serment.
