treat, Colonel Brent Bracewell shared his thoughts about how to become
an outstanding leader by understanding how to successfully work with
others in order to achieve goals. Last, but definitely not least, was a
presentation by Captain Don Schumacher about how to plan for a future

Room was happening, 2Lt John DiCara and Mrs. Tommie worked with

was taking place, there was a meeting with the Staff who are involved in
the creation of the 6-8 March Leadership Weekend at Catoosa.

PERSPECTIVE
The Pledge of Allegiance from the Red Skelton HourJanuary 14, 1969
I remember this one teacher. To me, he was the greatest teacher, a real sage of my time. He had
such wisdom. We were all reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and he walked over. Mr. Lasswell was
his name. He said: Ive been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all
semester, and it seems it is becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain
to you the meaning of each word.
Ime, an individual, a committee of one
Pledgededicate all my worldly goods to give without self-pity
Allegiancemy love and my devotion
To the FlagOur standard, Old Glory, is a symbol of freedom. Wherever she waves, there is respect
because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybodys job.
Of the Unitedthat means we have all come together
StatesWe are Individual communities that have united into 48 great states. 48 individual
communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to
a common purpose, and thats love for country.
Of America,
And to the Republic for which it standsIt is a state in which sovereign is invested in representatives
chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people, and its from the people to the
leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
One nationmeaning, so blessed by God
IndivisibleIncapable of being divided
With libertywhich is freedom and the right of power to live ones own life without threats or fear of
some sort of retaliation.
And Justicethe principal or quality of dealing fairly with others
For allwhich means its as much your country as it is mine
Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country and two words have been added
to The Pledge of Allegianceunder God. Wouldnt it be a pity if someone said, Thats a prayer, and
that would be eliminated from our schools too.
