OK, it was more loss of time from housework because of being pissed. Maybe I should thank him? Nah. A little history trivia for anyone who like myself doesn't really know it for the Pledge of Allegiance: I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God,(2) indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 1. The original pledge was published in the Sept. 8, 1892, issue of The Youth's Companion in Boston. For years, the authorship was in dispute between James B. Upham and Francis Bellamy of the magazine's staff. In 1939, after a study of the controversy, the United States Flag Association decided that authorship be credited to Bellamy. 2. The phrase “under God” was added to the pledge on June 14, 1954. I slept through History class my entire life and had just assumed that they had come up with it sometime closer to the Declaration of Independence. <shrug> So now, what do you think?
