Hello! Today I am going to show you how to sign... HELLO! TODAY I SHOW YOU SIGN
the United States pledge U-S PLEDGE
When translating the United States pledge...
into American Sign Language, it sounds like this:
Promise support flag, United States America… PROMISE SUPPORT FLAG U-S AMERICA
America show believe connect God equal forever. AMERICA SHOW BELIEVE CONNECT GOD EQUAL FOREVER
When put with English words, it sounds like this:
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America… PROMISE SUPPORT FLAG U-S AMERICA
and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation… AMERICA SHOW BELIEVE CONNECT
under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. GOD EQUAL FOREVER
So… First we will start off with the word "promise".
It is a 1 with your dominant hand and an s with your non-dominant hand.
It goes down and opens up. Promise. PROMISE
Support is 2 "s"'s with your dominant and non-dominant hand.
The dominant hand is below. Support. SUPPORT
Next is the sign "flag". Your dominant hand will be an open "B" or a 5 handshape.
Your dominant hand will go onto of your non dominant hand, which will lay like this.
And then fly back and forth like a flag. FLAG
For the United States of America…
instead of signing "United States of America", we sign…
U-S America, but we will point to the U and the S to show…
That they belong to the word America.
We will sign U-S America U-S AMERICA
And then to show republic, we will sign America again. AMERICA
So far it will look like this:
Promise support flag, United States America, America. PROMISE SUPPORT FLAG U-S AMERICA AMERICA.
Then you will sign the word show. Which is the 1 on your dominant hand…
and an open B on your non-dominant hand. They will touch like this…
and go outwards. Like I am showing you. SHOW
Then believe is a one with your dominant hand down into an open B, and curve a little bit like this.
And then come down and cure to a C.
Believe BELIEVE
Then is connect. It is 2 "f"'s which are open at the thumb…
and come together to connect. CONNECT
Then God, which is an open B which starts facing forwards at your for head…
going down to your chest. God. GOD
Then equal. You have your hands in a bent "V".
Then they will come together to equal. Equal. EQUAL
Finally, is "forever".
You have your non dominate hand resting like this…
or you can sign it like this.
Then make a 1 with your hand like this.
Then you turn it around like that, and come out with a "Y".
Forever FOREVER
When you put it together, it looks like this:
Promise support flag, United States America… PROMISE SUPPORT FLAG U-S AMERICA
America show believe connect God equal forever. AMERICA SHOW BELIEVE CONNECT GOD EQUAL FOREVER
With the English words its sounds like this:
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America PROMISE SUPPORT FLAG U-S AMERICA
