As we are now between Memorial Day and July 4th, and to stay in this "Patriotic theme", I would add the following.
It is something I found on my own (it was not sent to me) and is rather interesting.
It is a snip from a some show done by the late, great Red Skelton. And is rather unusual as he does it as himself and as a straight role rather than his comedic character.
And it too is about something what is (or was) just recited without too much thought:
The following words were spoken by the late Red Skelton on his television program as he related the story of his teacher, Mr. Laswell, who felt his students had come to think of the Pledge of Allegiance as merely something to recite in class each day.
And at the very end, it is rather interesting that it touches on a matter that was just a few short years ago was in both the news and the courts.
And Bill asked me to let you know that your check is in the mail today.
I just received mine today
