I pledge allegiance

It should be in school, period. Also there should be a flag in every classroom. I don’t care what political views or anything else people have, it shouldn’t have been taken out. We “all” live in this country. It’s sad that politics plays into so much in every day life.

One question for you. What kinda government do we have?

Plus, an addition for some of us.

I live in bible country. We still do a prayer and the pledge at Farm Bureau meetings, Rotary and Chamber meetings, Cowboy Action shoots, and just about every function I have attended. I have noticed some younger folks don't know the words, though.

Brings back the memories of my new wife pinning the badge on me after taking a pledge very similar if not exactly this pledge. One thing most people are unaware of, this pledge and those similar, have NO expiration date! I feel that I am still bound to that oath.

The U.S. Pledge of Allegiance (1892) was an expression of allegiance to the flag, part of a campaign to promote nationalism in schools led by the children's magazine, The Youth's Companion to sell flags to schools and have children recite the pledge. Colonel George Balch, a Civil War veteran, wrote a similar pledge five years before Bellamy's:
"We give our heads and hearts to God and our country; one country, one language, one flag!"
Both versions existed until 1923, when Bellamy's version became the de facto standard. His pledge was formally adopted by Congress in 1942, and in 1945 officially named: The U.S. Pledge of Allegiance. The phrase "under God" was added to Bellamy's original version, after "one nation," signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on Flag Day, 1954.
