Red
Skelton Recites the Pledge
When
Red Skelton was just a small boy in school, he had a favorite
teacher named Mr. Laswell. One day while Red and his
classmates were reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, Mr. Laswell
walked over to them and said, "I've been listening to you
boys and girls recite the Pledge all semester. It
seems as though it's becoming monotonous to you. 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, my devotion
"To The Flag" Our standard, old glory - a symbol of freedom
wherever she waves. There's respect because your
loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, freedom
is everybody's job
"United States" That means we all come together, individual
communities that have united into 48 great states
- 48 individual communities with pride and dignity
and purpose - all divided with imaginary boundaries and
united to a common purpose - and that's love for country
"And to the Republic - a state in which sovereign power
is vested in represent-
Republic" atives chosen by the people to govern - and
government is the peo- "For Which It ple - and it's from the
people to the leaders - not from the leaders to
Stands" the people
"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 qualities of dealing fairly
with others
"For All" For all! Which means, boys and girls, it's
as much YOUR country as it is mine.

Since
Red Skelton was a small boy in Indiana, two states have been
added to our country. And two words have been added
to that Pledge Of Allegiance. Those words: "Under
God."
This was performed on Red Skelton's CBS-TV show one night
in 1969. The following day the demand for this reading
was so great that Columbia Records released it on a 45 RPM
record. It became a million-seller almost overnight.
