Nearly ten years later Eisenhower’s administration would add “under god” to the pledge, which had previously stood for over a half century with no reference to religion. I distinctly remember having to recite this revisionist version of the pledge, choosing to remain silent for the inserted line, and subsequently being ostracized by students and even some faculty for not sharing their religious beliefs. So neat to experience first hand the effects of government endorsed religion at such a young age. This experience, along with numerous others incurred in the Bible Belt, have remained with me as a constant reminder for necessity of impartiality in leadership.

In commemoration you should have posted the original version of the pledge. Not the later anti communist version. We could try the original salute as well.
