Red Skelton on The Pledge of Allegiance

I watched this video recently of Red Skelton reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. This great communicator speaks to the meaning behind the words in the pledge. Even though this piece was filmed in the 60's, its timely for our nation today. How often have you heard the pledge or even recited it and blown right past the very meaning behind the words?

Red was the best kinda red.
great take on the theme terrance...wonder how many things we recite beyond th pledge without considering its meaning as well.
that's interesting--the big debate still goes on; i've no objections, but they probably shouldn't have added those two little words.
Huge Red Skelton fan, here. And great take on the Theme. Welcome aboard, Terrace :)
Also a big Red Buttons and Redd Foxx fan, heh, heh...

This is amazing..and how very appropriate for these times, indeed!
Thank you for posting this...!
My dad ADORED Red Skelton and we never missed his show. My brother still does the Gertrude & Heaathcliff voices with his thumbs tucked under his armpits. What a great take on TT. Thank you. Also, thanks for visiting my blog.
i was thinking more how many times i've heard people say the pledge of allegiance and blown the words
We all need a reminder
In this day and age
Of just what the words
In the pledge has to say.
Thanks for the memories.
