Re: PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

I saw their story on "Made in America" with George Ratzenberger, (aka Cliff Claven). Then I noticed that the flags we fly here at work all come from Annin.

Pretty cool Company History.

I have about 25 years of service with the Boy Scouts. We were the group of choice for many of the institutions in our area to donate their retired flags. Every year or so we would perform the flag retirement ceremony at one of our Council gatherings. I've been inactive with the Scouts for a few years now but still seem to be the repository for our company. That's OK though. I do the ceremony alone when I get a fair amount of 'Old Soldiers'. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

Knowing this bunch of guys, I probably shouldn't dare mention this, but in Feb. 1960 when I was 10 and a Cub Scout, I was selected to represent the nations Cub Scouts during National Boy Scout week on the Ed Sullivan show in NYC. There was a Boy Scout and an Explorer there along side me. Ed brought us out under the lights, said some nice things and "we" recited the Boy Scout Oath. Of course, just being a Cub, I didn't know it OR know I was supposed to recite it, so I just stood there nervously in front of the cameras with my hand raised in the Cub Scout salute and kept my mouth shut.
There was a terrible snow storm that evening and the tunnel into the city was closed. My parents were told at the toll booth that they had to turn around but my Mother told them in no uncertain terms that HER son has to be on the Ed Sullivan show that night and could not be denied access to the city. They had Pop park the car there (our '58 Pontiac Star Chief) and we all got in a police car and were taken directly to the studio with lights flashing. That was my one and only ride in the back of a police car!
What a trip!

I second that! Great story.

My son's first Cub Scout meeting is tonight. He wore his new cap to school and he looked just like Beaver Cleaver.

OK but the crack about being the only time in the back of a squad car somehow doesn't quite ring true...
