Today we celebrate the Pledge of Allegiance.

A bit of history about the Pledge:

https://www.history.com/news/who-created-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 under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Very interesting Pledge of Allegiance history, Gran.

I kind of like the original version, too....

“We give our heads and our hearts to God and our country; one country, one language, one flag.”

Did you notice how they (History.com) say the later version was written by a ‘Christian socialist’?

Those two CERTAINLY don’t go together (at least in my book :). Maybe they mean a different meaning of socialist? Hmmmm...scratching my head...lol.
