Howdy everyone. In this issue I’d like to take a few moments to share with you a little history about the Pledge’s. We just finished commemorating Veterans Day; a celebration dedicated to all our Vets of all the conflicts. We celebrate the Vets and their families for many reasons. Mostly because without them, who knows what language we might be speaking. Or what codes of conduct, morays, political persuasions, or religions we might be coerced or even forced to follow. Besides our flags’ stars and stripes, what elevates our esprit de corps or patriotism? The Pledge of Allegiance and our National Anthem immediately come to mind. And like 16 other states, our Texas Pledge of Allegiance. So where did they come from and why?
Let me share a little of this great history with you. Let’s start with the Pledge of Allegiance. A Civil War veteran named Captain George T. Balch wrote the first version in 1885 which...
