Quickie: Say "Amen" at the end of the Pledge of Allegiance
Last night I was at a civic event and we had to stand, put our hands on our hearts, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Because of the phrase “under God” I always feel uncomfortable reciting the Pledge. At the end, I felt compelled to shout out an “Amen.” But I resisted and whispered it to the woman in front of me, who laughed.
I suggest lots of people say “Amen” at the end of the Pledge.
