Should we bring back the Pledge of Allegiance? I remember as I went through Grade School we use to say this every morning and it gave me a sense of pride and purpose each day! Are the youth of today missing this and will they every understand what it truly means?
Your thoughts and comments are welcome?
THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
Our Pledge of Allegiance as we know it is fast becoming a thing of the past. Kids used to say the Pledge of Allegiance along with a prayer before starting the day’s activities.
Below you will see the very touching recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance as told by Red Skelton. They Pledge as we should still teach our children.
Also listed is the “Global Earth Day Pledge” that our children are learning today. Again this is Global. Everything will go global in the “End Times”. This is just another way to ease everyone into it. Be Prepared. It is coming.
On January 14, 1969, Red Skelton touched the hearts of millions of Americans with his "Pledge Of Allegiance", in which he explained the meaning of each and every word. Red Skelton's recitation of the "Pledge of Allegiance" was twice read into the Congressional Record of the United States and received numerous awards.
RED SKELTON: "I remember this one teacher. To me, he was the greatest teacher, a real sage of my time. He had such wisdom. We were all reciting the Pledge Of Allegiance and he walked over. Mr. Lasswell was his name... He said": "I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge Of Allegiance all semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word:
I
Me; an individual; a committee of one.
Pledge
Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.
Allegiance
My love and my devotion.
To the Flag
Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job.
of the United
That means that we have all come together.
States
Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that is love for country.
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.
For which it stands
One Nation
One Nation -- meaning, so blessed by God.
Indivisible
Incapable of being divided.
With Liberty
Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation.
And Justice
The principle, or quality, of dealing fairly with others.
For All
For All -- which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine. 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.

I'm all for the pledge of allegiance in our schools. Luckily my little hometown area where we are living they still say the pledge of allegiance. I personally think and feel that people as a whole are becoming more separated and more out for just their selves. I'm going to try and keep myself from getting up on my soap box but we are the united states for a reason. We already had the civil war stop trying to separate each other before we end up having another one. We have bigger fish to fry like North Korea. We are the United States of America not the separate states of america and there is no segregation so just stop trying to say you are better then somebody else. If you are a citizen of the united states if you were born here or took the test and became a citizen you are an american and stop with all the crap.

Absolutely. Teach the kids how to handle a flag, how to fold it. Take them to a veterans cemetery and teach them what those men and women died for. Get them enrolled in a scouting program so that they learn self-reliance and cohesiveness as well as how to belong to a values based organization. I wore my scout uniform with pride and that carried over into my military service.

I feel there is much that is no longer in our schools today and the pledge of Allegiance is just one thing among many others. our schools have become more of an indoctrination rather than a learning environment. The content of subjects being taught today is not like years ago. History has been changed to be politically correct and content of various subjects have been altered or not taught at all like understanding how government works and our rights as individuals not as some teachers or instructors would like us to believe.

You can bring it back but if Little Johnny decides he doesn't want to pledge and sit's down in protest there is nothing you can do about it. However it has been known for others in Johnny's class to have a talk with him after school to point out the error of his ways. That works pretty well if I remember right.

Absolutely, but first we would have to teach most teachers and administrators in many public schools what it means.

I, like you, Colonel Burroughs, recited the Pledge of Allegiance every morning, starting in the 3rd Grade. Of course, I started 1st grade in 1938 and WWII began in December of 1941. At the time we were living in Fayetteville, NC and Fort Bragg was just up the road from there. Even at that young age we knew what that Pledge stood for. When you are surrounded by thousands of 82nd Airborne Division jumpers you do your best to stand tall all the time. I started selling the NY News in the base Hospital when I was in the 5th grade, getting home after 1900 every day. Seeing all those very young "boys" lying in bed with casts on both legs or arms and legs tends to wake you up, even at a young age. All the elementary schools in Fayetteville taught 4th, 5th, & 6th grade children to knit and we knitted literally thousands of 4 X 4 inch squares that were turned over to the ladies in town who made them into blankets for the base hospital. Families in town would go to the USO and invite soldiers to their home for dinner. Even as a young boy I made a lot of friends with those men (boys) and kept in touch with a few of them during the war and even after the war. The Pledge of Allegiance should never have been removed from schools. We also had prayer in the schools then, but the liberals with their Political Correctness decided that we should not hurt the feelings of even just one person who objected, and today's children, teenagers, are being denied the rights that all these millions of men and women sacrificed life, limb, and "brains" for. May God Bless America Again!
