Red Skelton’s Pledge of Allegiance – a CLASSIC! & Upcoming Events

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.

We have a big day this Saturday, June 21, 2025, Post 25’s ROADKILL Party is from 3 to 5 PM.

Greetings!
  First, a BIG THANKS to everyone who attended our 9-11 Event yesterday! We will NEVER FORGET what happened and we must work to maintain the national unity we all experienced in the days, weeks, months, and years after that terrible experience. We must all WORK to maintain our national unity!

BRAVO to Calico for making last night successful. We had a nearly full house!

THIS JUST IN!!!
This coming Friday at 8:00 PM we will have our first Queen of Hearts game go off since late last spring.

Over the summer we have been honing and refining Post 25’s Queen of Hearts Rules. From our research, we have learned the following; there are no National Queen of Hearts Standard Rules. Queen of Hearts is an open-source game of chance that acts as a fundraiser and that many non-profit organizations benefit from.
