Howdy! I listened to that medley - it's really nice, thanks!

This seems appropriate for today. Check this out. It is a commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance by Red Skelton:

Pledge of Allegiance

Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country
and two words have been added to the pledge of Allegiance...

UNDER GOD

Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said
that is a prayer
and that would be eliminated from schools too?

God Bless America!

Thanks, Meek - it's really nice to see you. Hope you have a super weekend. :)

How prophetic and, indeed, what a pity it is to see the state we have come to. Thank God, the uproar and outrage over this has resounded mightily through the mountains and valleys of our great country. May God continue to bless us and keep us strong. I believe that we are in a battle daily to save our country - and FReepers are up to the task!

Thank you for posting the link to Red Skelton's moving commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance. Have a safe and happy Independence Day.
