Pledge:
Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.

And to the Republic:
Republic--a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.

One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God.

                             The Pledge of Allegiance


When the popular American comedian Red Skelton  was a young man, he learned the meaning of the Pledge of Allegiance from one of his teachers.  The lesson became so meaningful he remembered the explanation of his teacher, Mr. Laswell, throughout his lifetime.

The ironic thing is when  he made this recording he did not add the words "Under God." Be sure and read what he said about it at the end of his pledge.

In 1969 Red Skelton made the following recording.
An explanation of the Pledge Of Allegiance.
And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands;

one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance:

Under God.  Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools, too?

             ~ Red Skelton
July 18, 1913 - September 17, 1997

'Good night, and May God bless'
There will be a time for sorrow
There will be a time for tears
There will be a time for remembering
Time will ease the sorrow
Time will dry the tears
But the memories of Red will live forever
Within our heart for years

                             Pledge of Allegiance and Judicial Action Petition

On Wednesday, June 26, 2002, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco overturned a 1954 act of Congress which inserted the phrase "under God" after the words "one nation" in the pledge of allegiance.  The court said the phrase violates the so-called Establishment Clause in the Constitution that requires a separation of church and state.

I believe America was founded on Judeo-Christian values and principles which are continually being eroded by legislation and court actions.
        God Bless America,
           Land that I love
          Stand beside her,
            And guide her,
         Through the night
   With the light from above,
       From the mountains,
            To the prairies,
             To the ocean,
           White with foam,
          God bless America,
        My home sweet home.
          God bless America,
        My home sweet home.
