We all remember starting off our school days reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag, but did you know that there is a pledge to Kentucky’s flag as well? Enacted by the state legislature in 2000 as KRS 2.035, the pledge reads:

I pledge allegiance to the Kentucky flag, and to the Sovereign State for which it stands, one Commonwealth, blessed with diversity, natural wealth, beauty, and grace from on High.
