The Salute

The Pledge of Allegiance is the official salute of the FFA Organization. To properly conduct the salute, face the United States flag, place the right hand over the left part of the chest and, holding it there, repeat the following pledge:

"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."

At the conclusion of the pledge, the hand should be dropped to the side and the members should again face the president's station. The salute should always be used in the official closing ceremony for meetings and at other FFA gatherings.

*Note: Repeat the pledge as it is punctuated. There is no comma or pause following the word "Nation."*
