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 was not aware that it had been removed. Is this a communist conspiracy? I have two grandsons in public school and neither one has mentioned this to me. What kind of government do we have where the public is not allowed to hear about or vote for or against crucial items like this. That is why we had Obamacare jammed up our asses. It was totally unconstitutional yet it was passed and enforced anyway. Do we need another civil war? Maybe we do and this time it should be the population against the MOSTLY PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS who have never worked an honest job in their entire lives and never served their country in the process.

My children attend a Traditional school, at which all grades, kindergarten through 8th grade, day the pledge at a flag ceremony every day of the school year. We also have several special ceremonies for veterans and local service people. They also learn and publicly recite the Star Spangled Banner in kinder and deliver a recital of the constitution's preamble in 3rd grade. We choose to attend and be part of an academic community that stands by our country. I'm grateful my girls know this as their academic foundation! COL Mikel J. Burroughs

COL Mikel J. Burroughs I see the End Time move easing in. In my area the Pledge of Allegiance and Prayer are no where to be found in the public schools around me. Except, the private schools embrace the foundations. Now, it seems that school shootings are gaining momentum. But I remember when prayer and allegiance were present in the schools, the schools felt like hallowed ground and the all-knowing to respect the grounds was regal.

It had been 1 year ago this was posted. This is my first encounter with it. Divine Providence is showing me things have gotten worse because more attention and fury is around gun legislation and not the innocent, human carnage of teachers and students.
