@compcarp I visited West Virginia on a few occassions and I honestly think it has some of the most beautiful country in the eastern US.

Believe it or not I am from Vincennes, Indiana and my family owned the birthplace of Red Skelton and we met him several times. I was a small biy at the time and he was the same man in person you saw on TV. Warm, courteous, charming and funny. I remember watching his show and seeing his recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance as a boy. Most of my schoolmates saw it too, oddly enough most of us grew up to be Libertarians. LOL I don't know why I find that funny; but I do. Anyway Thanks compcarp.

@compcarp You're welcome. I live in Vincennes now too so if you live in or near Vincennes maybe we can meet up some time and discuss Mr. Skelton over coffee.

@hoosierarcher I'd LOVE to take you up on such a generous offer! My only knowledge of Mr. Skelton are memories of his TV Show, movies (Three Little Words is my favorite), Baby It's Cold Outside (Brilliant!), his Pledge of Allegiance AND my FAV - The Littlest Christmas Tree from A Child's First Christmas Album. It has since been re-released WITHOUT this story. Too religious or patriotic or politically incorrect, I suppose.
I would have loved to have met him. He seemed so genuine.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
"I Pledge Allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all."
Those are the original words of the pledge as written by a Socialist, Francis Bellamy, in 1892. Pity that those who gnash their teeth over "political correctness" and "revisionist history" overlook the fact that the Pledge itself was rewritten and reworded in the very name of political correctness and revisionism.

What's a pity is people who can't accept that the fact that a majority of American's did (and still do to a large extent) have a belief in God and wanted to reflect that in a pledge to our flag. Otherwise, it seemed like we were giving reverence to an inanimate object - while our founding fathers and many founding documents gave reverence to God.
