I must tell you that this pledge was modified twice from the original. This version with "UNDER GOD" was adopted in 1954. I remember standing in the sunshine by the flagpole when the principal of our school taught us this "new" version. Funny (SAD) that the ACLU et al want it taken back out............most of them don't know that it has not always been there. Thanks again, Dee Surfer Jerry,

However you might be interested to know that it was not an ancient Roman salute (that is a popularly repeated myth), and that the USA Pledge of Allegiance WAS the origin of the stiff armed salute adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party, as shown by the historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets").
