What is the 'Pledge of Allegiance'?
In 1892, a minister named Francis Bellamy wrote the Pledge (which means a promise or a vow) of Allegiance (which means loyalty or faithfulness) in order to promote patriotism, love of country and respect for the flag. It was originally designed for schools, to be taught to children. In the original version, it said nothing about God. In fact, it was meant to be concise and not take very long to say. It was also not said with the hand on the heart, but with a salute. Here is what Rev. Bellamy wrote: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."But as time went by, several changes were made to the pledge. The last one occurred during the early 1950s, an era of McCarthyism and the Cold War, when the words "under God" were added to show that America is a God-fearing nation, as opposed to the Soviet Union, our enemy of that time, which espoused a belief in atheism. Today, the pledge, which is said with the hand over the heart, reads:I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all.
If two flags of different countries are displayed which pledge of allegiance is said first?
A pledge of allegiance would never be made to two different countries at the same time; any pledges that are made simultaneously would be made in the order in which they are required by several patterns, depending on who and what they are to. It doesn't matter how many flags are on display nor which ones they are.

The Pledge of Allegiance is recited in public schools as a way to promote patriotism and foster a sense of national unity among students.

Why is the pledge of allegiance not said at the state of the union address?
The Pledge of Allegiance is not recited at the State of the Union address primarily because the event is focused on the President outlining their legislative agenda and addressing the nation’s challenges, rather than serving as a formal ceremony. Additionally, the event is intended to foster a serious tone for discussing important issues, rather than the more ceremonial nature of the Pledge. Instead, the address begins with a formal introduction and the President's speech, emphasizing governance and accountability.

Did Obama omit the words under god in the pledge?
No, he never did. He says the pledge of allegiance the way it has been since 1954. However, it should be noted that when the pledge was originally written in the 1890s, it did not have the words "under God." That phrase was inserted during the McCarthy era, to show that America was different from the Soviet Union-- we believed in God, and they did not. That said, contrary to many internet myths, President Obama has never disrespected the flag, has never refused to say the pledge, and always says it correctly.
Should the Pledge of Allegiance be Changed?
what's wrong with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America? Most of us have said it since we were young children, with pride and gratefulness. Well, it is really a matter of opinion. I personally beleive that it should, since the pledge distinctly says "...one nation, under god..." and there are many Americans in the public school system that are either Atheists, Agnostics, or any other religion that does not worship god. For that matter, it souldn't say "In god we trust" on the dollar bill, but that's a completely different debate.
