At 62 one of my tenants in life has been, is, and will forever be, the raw fact that you can learn a lot of things every day, and some are more "memorable " than others, but all are an advancement of mankind. (Unless you are a woman then I guess it's "womenkind".)
But here's a challenge for all my American readers and friends; who wrote the original "Pledge of Allegience"?
And for those who think they know what the Pledge is, then here is the original version from the 1890's;
""I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to* the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"
(* 'to' added in October 1892). "
Any takers?
