Hi James,
As my children have pointed out, the correct way is " and to the Republic for which it stands".

As much as some people want it to be a democracy, its not. Never intended to be by our founders.

Regards,  Tai-Pan

P.S. sorry Mike, but the democracy (see socialistic) bullsh*t really gets me irked!

    I know this is off-topic but just a quick reply - this is supposed
    to be a democracy and freedom of speech and differing points of
    view are "legal".  And different points of view don't mean that
    one is not patriotic or that one doesn't support the troops.
