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

Ummmm, Disney World is one of the most uber-patriotic places you can visit - I personally love the daily lowering of the flag ceremony in Main Street - they use a veteran guest and the band. It is very moving.
So don't bring Mickey, Minnie or Disney World into it.
And . . . how many people know the National Hymn???

Sometimes I like our national anthem, but most of the time it's boring. I've always liked O Canada...I just think it's prettier...except for when our anthem is sung like this!

Is it the Battle Hymn of the Republic?

I'm amused that Earp wants us to discuss his email spam, but we should ONLY discuss it in the way HE approves of.
Neither our national anthem nor the hymn, but I love "I heard the Bells on Christmas Day" with the full version that no one seems to sing anymore.

Like you whistle the Star-Spangled Banner while you work!!!
Some Southerners might prefer the Confederate Anthem better...
