In this month’s podcast you will hear about a brand new broadcast of mine titled “The Pledge of Allegiance as You’ve Never Heard It Before – (Paul Romaine)”.
The original version of our Pledge of Allegiance was composed by Francis Bellamy in August of 1892. He was a Baptist and a socialist minister. He had hoped that it would be used by citizens in any country. In 1923, the words “the Flag of the United States of America were added. It was formally adopted as the pledge by Congress in 1942. The official name of The Pledge of Allegiance was adopted in 1945.
Over the years there has been very little change to the exact words. However, from time to time, there have been celebrated actors and singers that will give their input to the meaning of the words.
Red Skelton, a famous comedian and actor, had a nationally broadcast television show. On one show, he described a school teacher and Principal in the high school that Red attended. He told the audience that the teacher felt that the students were getting lax when they recited the Pledge each day. So he decided to tell the students about the meaning of each of the words of the Pledge.
Another artist that I have mentioned is a favorite singer of mine. He is Lee Greenwood and he has a patriotic recording that he sings the Pledge of Allegiance and gives his interpretation of the lyrics.
