Thank you for putting this together! Very fascinating. Things that are important to know yet often remain unheard.

So very interesting to learn all the historical facts that brought about the way the pledge of allegiance is said today. Good job David!

Very impressive lecture covering fundamental historical facts, often ignored/overlooked by too many teachers/professors. A lecture well worth adding as a supplement to a college level course on American History, and a lecture that should be mandatory in a graduate school level course on American History.

Thank you David. So many people need to view this to know the history of their country and it's evolution to today.
