Yes, it is generally appropriate to say the Pledge of Allegiance at an Armed Forces Day luncheon, as the event honors military service and patriotism. The Pledge serves as a unifying expression of respect for the nation and its values. However, it's important to consider the specific context and the preferences of the attendees, as some may have differing views on the Pledge's recitation.
The Oath of Enlistment for all military personnel includes the phrase "To support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, to bear true faith and allegiance to the same..." So the primary allegiance is to the Constitution. However, the Constitution also appoints the President of the United States to be the Commander In Chief of all American military forces.
New Zealand schools do not salute the flag each morning, nor do they repeat any oath or allegiance. In a justice court or similar, you'd be expected to swear an Oath on the Bible (or Koran or alternative), before offering evidence. Upon Naturalization, in NZ you'd be expected to swear an Oath of Allegiance, and the same takes place when joining the armed forces or the NZ Police.
Armed Forces Day is for active duty personnel, so no it would not. It would be an honor to see him dress for Veterans Day though. Certainly it is appropriate for a Veteran to wear his uniform.
Members of the Royal Navy do not swear an oath of allegiance to a monarch or a leader in the same way some other military forces do; instead, they take an oath of service to their country and its constitution. This reflects the UK's constitutional monarchy, where loyalty is directed towards the nation rather than an individual. Additionally, the focus is on upholding the values and duties of the service rather than personal allegiance.
The Saint Joseph Terror of Demons prayer holds significance in Catholic tradition as it is believed to invoke the protection of Saint Joseph against evil forces. This prayer is thought to provide spiritual strength and guidance in times of spiritual warfare, helping believers to resist temptation and overcome the influence of demonic forces.

Any person swearing allegiance to a country is required to give up allegiance to any other country ! If you become a citizen of a country - you're expected to be faithful exclusively to that country - forsaking all others. For example.... say you were born in Spain - and then became a British citizen... If Spain and the UK were to become enemies - you would be expected to side with the British interests, not Spain - even if that meant joining British armed forces in a war against Spain !
Samuel Cable was a Confederate soldier during the American Civil War. He served in the Confederate Army, which fought against the Union forces. His allegiance was to the Confederacy, which sought to secede from the United States.
Lee did not accept command of the Federal forces because he felt he owed his allegiance to his state, Virginia, rather than to the whole country. He probably did expect Scott to offer him the post.
