Every American Needs to Watch This Video – Red Skelton’s 1969 Pledge of Allegiance

[opsspec1991]

It’s rare that I am made speechless from watching a video. Not only am I speechless, but there is a tear in my eye for this interpretation and recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

I saw that live when he gave it in 1969. It made me shiver. A good shiver.

Oldie but a goldie.

I saw it at the time as well. I have it on tape and DVD.
It is timeless.

This is the most moving thing Red Skelton ever did, imo. I like to show this to my students on the last day of school as a send off. You can hear a pin drop in the classroom every time.
