this isnt my belief.. but i heard it from my 5th grade teacher.. every monday.. we would recite the anthem.. and the part "and to the republic.. for which it stands" was totally missunderstood by one of her former kids... one day he went up to her and asked "whos Richard Stands?" then she laughed n corrected him .. its which it stands.. not richard stands ;)
