Tory Hedderman is a stereotypical, self-centered 16-year-old with an unpatriotic attitude and the motto, "If it doesn't have to do with me, why should I care?" However, when Tory is caught vandalizing a statue of a World War I vet, he is ordered to perform community service at a local veterans' home. There, he learns about the sacrifices that have been made for our country and how to open his heart to those around him.
Awarded the Dove Foundation's highest honor of five doves, The Pledge is an uplifting family drama featuring footage of real veterans sharing their thoughts on patriotism, freedom, and the attitudes of today's generation toward the true price of freedom.
