On this day in 1892 as a part of the celebration marking the 400th anniversary of Columbus’s voyage to the America’s, The Pledge of Allegiance was first recited by students in many public schools in the United States. The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Frances Bellamy. It was adopted by Congress as the pledge in 1942.

LOL…did you notice the photo shows President & Mrs. Obama’s respective LEFT hands over their hearts? Here’s the LD on the photo:
Analysis: The picture above is a doctored mirror-image of a press photo taken during a ceremony commemorating the victims of 9/11 on the South Lawn of the White House, September 11, 2009. The original is credited to AP photographer Charles Dharapak.
The manipulated version boasts Photoshopped wedding bands and reversed jacket buttons to make it appear as though the image hasn’t been tinkered with. Unfortunately, the ruse is spoiled by the medals on the uniform of the Marine standing in soft focus behind the President: they’re on the wrong side of his chest.
Nor was Mr. Dharapak the only photographer present at the occasion. Other images of the same ceremony clearly show the President and Mrs. Obama standing with their right hands over their hearts during the playing of Taps. (Some people just need to get a life!) 🙂
Funny, I didn’t really look at the picture closely I was looking for a picture of The Pledge of Alliegence..and that came up…
