Greetings,
At last week’s American Legion State Convention, I happened to overhear several attendees mention comedian Red Skelton‘s classic 1969 “Pledge of Allegiance” story about his favorite elementary school teacher, Mr. Laswell.
We should all play this for our children and grandchildren.
Here’s a charming story from Red.
In 1937, while he was entertaining at the Capitol Theater in Washington, D.C., President Franklin D. Roosevelt invited Skelton to perform at a White House luncheon. During one of the official toasts, Skelton grabbed Roosevelt’s glass, saying, “Careful what you drink, Mr. President. I got rolled in a place like this once.” His humor appealed to FDR, and Skelton became the master of ceremonies for Roosevelt’s official birthday celebration for many years afterward. Red Skelton made us laugh for decades. Arguably, his Pledge of Allegiance story is one of his most enduring stories.
Red was 84 years old when he passed on September 17, 1997, and was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.
Tonight, Friday, June 20, 2025, Jay Boree will perform from 6 to 9 PM.
