      The flag of the United States And to the Republic, for which it stands.
      I didn't hear democracy in there anywhere, maybe it's because our political form of government is meant to be a constitutional republic!!!!!!

    I am an Iranian immigrant to the United State. In 1977 at the age of eleven we moved to America for one year. The first time I heard the pledge of allegiance it was in 6th grade at our school in Peterborough New Hampshire. And boy did I fall in love, not with one of the girls at school but with the pledge of allegiance and this great country! In 1979 we immigrated on a permanent basis to America and in 1996 I was honored to become a naturalized US citizen! And yes my whole family has since become Christians. God continue to bless America!

      @brucerowe - I assume you mean prayer. Please advise me how this is a prayer? And how it would harm anyone. Also there’s no rule that says prayer or praying should not be allowed in public schools or places. What is prohibited is requiring a specific church or religion should be forced on the public. All of the founding fathers as far as history shows us believed in a Providence (aka Creator or God); most of them read the Bible regularly. They also prayed before making decisions.

    I also watched Red Skelton do this pledge on the Ed Sullivan show.
    Shame how now our country is being divided and torn apart.

Politicians now run this Nation instead of it being ran by the people ! It not the just the democrats or republicans it is both that are ruining this Nation ! True Americans or I should Patriots that are still holding on trying our best to turn this Nation around ! Please quit being divided by a party let's start working together instead a part on getting this Nation back it feet again ! Our Constitution say We the People , For the People and By the People ! It does not say government the government , for the government and by the government ! Wake up people both sides are corrupt ! Back when Our Constitution was written the parts of the government house , senate and congress was allowed a minimum of 170 days to hold session ! Because they wasn't getting paid to be in office but each person worked a regular job saving for their retirement just like everyone else did ! Now days they get paid for an entire year but must only work those 170 days out of the year ! Term limits should be imposed among them ! Our forefathers didn't mean it to become a career which has became to be !

      I wish you people would stop being such beading heart pansies.
      How is it that you do not understand that people that divide against you on the basis of party affiliation are not your friends?
      How is it that you do not understand that just because someone claims to be a member of your party, they are not someone you want to be partnered with?
      Being united is more than just titles, claims and professions of faith, being united requires treating each other with loving kindness and both respecting and supporting each other's visions and dreams.
      Are you able to support the visions and dreams of an individual whose visions and dreams are to destroy your visions and dreams?
      To do so is self destructive.
      To do so is suicidal.
      To do so is insane.
      Find those that hold to your dreams, visions and values when it comes to national identity, and join them. Don't bother begging liars and murderers to join you as doing so is inviting them to destroy you and that is exactly what they will do.

He took the time to spend about an hour to me and to the bellman and any other guests walking by. He treated all of us like we were his best friends and he was especially humble and positive in his comments.
    At the end of the conversation, I told him to have a good day. He quickly replied, "Young man, the day is half over; have a good life." His voice was gentle and humble, just as in this video and when he would end his weekly TV shows with, "Good night and God bless."
    I still remember it like it was yesterday and I am in my 70's now. Thank you, Mr. Skelton. What a true inspiration to us all!
