Flag Day 2009

Note: I ran this column last year, and believe it is worthy – and appropriate – on this Flag Day, as well. May we fly Old Glory high and proud!

In the winter of 1969, the sentimental comic Red Skelton treated his television audience to a story from his childhood.

He spoke of the significance of the Flag of the United States of America, and the Pledge of Allegiance, reminding them that our Pledge is not a tedious recitation of empty words, but a clear and resounding testament of who we are as Americans. Mr. Skelton’s analysis is as timely today as it was 40 years ago. Enjoy!
