Pledge of Allegiance Poster (Old West Style)

I want to put the Pledge of Allegiance in our schoolroom so we can recite it every day. But of course it has to be thematic, right? Of course, the cowboys and pioneers (and obviously the Native Americans) didn't recite the Pledge, as the first version wasn't even written until the 1890s (according to Wikipedia). So today I made an old western-looking poster with the modern wording and punctuation of the Pledge of Allegiance. For the design I sort of copied a picture of a real broadside poster advertising passage to California from a pioneer book we have. The flags in this poster have 13 stars, I think. That's not accurate for the mid-to late-1800s, but the clipart looked cool on the poster anyway. Let me know if you find any typos in it. I hope you guys like it!

P.S. If you want to make it classic Karen Kindrick style then print it up on parchment. Did I even need to tell you that?

I didn't even have to print mine out-Brittany provided mine. Yes, i like it and it will look great in the room. Is anyone else getting sad that this year is coming to an end? Or are you not ending?
