Dear Congress of MY United States, I believe you have forgotten the meaning of our Pledge. Take a listen to a great American.

[@tonybill555]

Hey Pretty how are you doing? I pray this message gets to you in a perfect state..

[@angelcintron2122]

Once prayer and the Bible were taken out of the School system, the very fabric of our Great Nation was torn by those who have wanted to destroy her from within. It is time to drain the swamp of the Evil Morons who are still determined to carry out that task, but we, the American people have a voice in the placement in Office of the ones who will make America Great Again. Vote wisely, because our Children and our Children's Children will have to deal with the choises we make. Take care.. Stay safe.. and God bless America.

I am an Iranian immigrant to the United State. In 1977 at the age of eleven we moved to America for one year. The first time I heard the pledge of allegiance it was in 6th grade at our school in Peterborough New Hampshire. And boy did I fall in love, not with one of the girls at school but with the pledge of allegiance and this great country! In 1979 we immigrated on a permanent basis to America and in 1996 I was honored to become a naturalized US citizen! And yes my whole family has since become Christians. God continue to bless America!

All of the founding fathers as far as history shows us believed in a Providence (aka Creator or God); most of them read the Bible regularly. They also prayed before making decisions.

Being united is more than just titles, claims and professions of faith, being united requires treating each other with loving kindness and both respecting and supporting each other's visions and dreams. Are you able to support the visions and dreams of an individual whose visions and dreams are to destroy your visions and dreams? To do so is self destructive. To do so is suicidal. To do so is insane. Find those that hold to your dreams, visions and values when it comes to national identity, and join them.

I cried while watching this. When I was little, my Daddy and I watched his show every week. We loved him dearly. I loved watching my father laugh!! I miss them both so much! Maybe they’re laughing together in Heaven….🌟🌟

[@ryanbrandon6801]

@Nancy can i ask you a question?

[@marykateivanetich4343]

Well, this is a great literary explanation of the "Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America". Legally it is an oath and it's recitation is required to become a citizen of the United States Of America. M.K.I.

[@glennsaulsbury9177]

Seems our leaders of today need to hear this. " Power given to them by the people " They have all forgotten this one thing.

[@johnkellett2669]

I think the people forgot Glenn Saulsbury: Our Government knows exactly what they are doing......

[@sidcolwell7479]

They (government) have forgotten about The People. They are only in it for power and $$$$. Need term limits.🇺🇸

[@ryanbrandon6801]

@Glenn can i ask you a question?

[@lauriesmith3443]

This makes me cry everytime. God bless America. 🇺🇸

[@ryanbrandon6801]

@Laurie can i ask you a question?

[@karenvitarelli6055]

I am Canadian although I have many American friends. I have never heard the the Pledge of Allegiance explained like this. Thank you to late Red Skeleton for this beautiful rendition.

[@ryanbrandon6801]

@Karen can i ask you a question?

[@vicranger6876]

Once again, this never gets old. God bless America. Red Skelton said “ God bless “ at the end of each show.

[@FanceeName]

Red is probably rolling in his grave knowing what is happening today with the flag the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem.

[@Farrah300]

He would be sad and angry today if he knew what was going on.

[@nicoleknight9412]

If our Founding Fathers knew what is going on today, they would be so unbelievably upset, and be ready to give everybody a lesson about our Constitution and history in general.

[@123bentbrent]

In these tumultuous and trying times, this sentiment is needed more than ever. I wish that the mainstream media would play this occasionally, just to remind people, that no many how many faults America may have, we are by far, the best country on Earth.

[@mikehayes5167]

Can't imagine who would give this a thumbs down. 😪

[@joejordan1259]

I can the woke Marxist we have in our country now!!

[@Twinjeremy]

Liberals.... liberals hate our country.

[@danmeadows3859]

The leftist liberal democrat idiots. And the lazy snowflakes that won’t work!

[@ladyanime100]

People today need to see this

[@karenmurphy6749]

AMEN!! This needs to be taught more!!

[@tonybill555]

Hey Pretty how are you doing? I pray this message gets to you in a perfect state....

[@ryanbrandon6801]

@Karen can i ask you a question?

[@bobsradio6025]

While it is a fact that several people do not acknowledge, the Bill of Rights was written to protect the people from the government, not the other way around. Red Skelton has clearly pointed out that the same concept applies to the Pledge of Allegiance.

[@Tom-ej8bb]

Now there’s a role model!!! Great honest man!!

[@ronvandermey3139]

Every year that I taught U S History, I would have my class write in their notebooks the transcript of what Red said in this. Got to know Red briefly when we both went to Lawrence Welk's in Escondido for Thanksgiving Dinner. Indeed, Red loved this country and He loved the Lord. Red's sign off for his Tuesday night broadcasts was always "Good night and God bless." When thinking of a sign off for my Bethany Bible Church Channel, I use a similar sign off in his honor. Red loved the Lord, and his earthly remains at Forest Lawn Glendale I visit when I am there.

[@patrickmcgrath5411]

MR SKELTON, I SALUTE YOU 🇺🇲

[@bradleyvogelsang6851]

I remember a radio program I listen to 30 years ago would play this once a year on flag day. Seeing this now in 2021 gives me hope.

[@lunasol1244]

R.I.P. Amen 🙏. I ❤️ this my father used to tell my brothers and Sisters to stand and salute to the Flag

[@byronbriscoe9598]

thank you mr skelton!!!!! we need words of healing

[@Slinger43]

My late Father loved Red Skelton and it was never easier to see why, than right now 🇺🇲🙏

[@johnlasley5234]

It has been a while since I have heard this. It never gets old. If more people would hear this and if it waa thought in schools this Country would be better off.

[@isaysee2]

So OK - take that troublesome , divisive , TOTALLY UNNECESSARY , and hence WORTHLESS "under God" thing out and we can get it back in our schools .. We could sure use an unobjectionable pledge of National UNITY.

[@Realestateinspection]

I'm sure I'm not the only one choked up right now.

[@m10s13h49]

If you knew the truth,you'd be choking.

[@jeffscott8323]

Watched this every tuesday night. Couldnt wait to see it. Clean TV.

[@joycemuench22]

So glad I lived in a time when we looked forward to good laughter and real character as we turned on the television. So blessed. We knew what it meant to be proud of our country, our families, our friendships. Thank you to all who have served t keep it great.

[@ryanbrandon6801]

@Joyce can i ask you a question?

[@wadepenley8234]

I wish our government and our country would still think this way

[@triggerfish6619]

My heart swells with pride, my ears hear beautiful and patriotic words, my eyes cry tears of love for my country and my spirit devotion for the United States of America. Thank you, for Red for sharing your heart, wisdom, kindness, love and patriotism for our great country.

[@tvormwald]

Every day we did this when I was a young man. I joined the Marines at 17 to serve the Country I owed so much to. Went to conflicts, came home and Went back into service again later in life.

[@judyschmoll8541]

Tom V-dog, Thank you for your loyalty and service 🙏❤ God bless the USA 🇺🇸 and patriots like you!!

[@terrinewman5954]

same here brother!

[@georgereed988]

I had the pleasure of meeting Red Skelton, and he was one of the greatest American Patriots I have ever met. God Bless him!!

[@joedunleavy7066]

I remember watching this live when I was a child

[@wizardnetwork]

I've seen this dozens of times, on many different sites.. and to Me, it NEVER get's old..

[@richardrhoades8683]

What a patriot! I would have been totally thrilled to have seen him starring along side of John Wayne in a serious patriotic dramatic roll. Yes i know he was a great comedian but if you paid attention to him you would also notice that he was a very talented actor that could become the person or character that was assigned to him. And in the words of Red Skelton as he signed off from every one of his evening television shows. "Goodnight and may God Bless" - Red Skeleton -

[@KratostheThird]

They were both in a television show together, but they unfortunately never did a patriotic speech together.

[@debbiehauser4446]

How wonderful and wise. It should be played on every schools PA system every morning.

[@raginshaw2020]

Be Strong, Be of Good Courage, God Bless America, and Long Live the Republic.

[@kevinmurphy5506]

Years later this still works on my heart, Thank you Red. If you are still remembered you shall live on. Peace my friend and God bless you.

[@Denis468]

Stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, Take a knee to God

[@MrAandw22]

I listened to Red on Memorial Day 2015 and it explained the feelings I have for this country.

[@davejaniszeski6901]

I go back to this video every so often just to remind myself we were once a great nation with great patriots like Red. My heart breaks when I see where we are and where we are headed. God bless the memory of Red Skelton.

[@arealhauntedhouse4171]

Love Red Skelton🌟 Truly The Sweetest Human Being! His Nightly Goodbyes to His AUDIENCE Were an inspiration 2 ALL.!💘 🌟Truly MISS HIM💋💘 🗽🇺🇸👍🏼
