Salute



The original flag salute, was created by Francis Bellamy, a Christian Socialist who wrote the original "Pledge of Allegiance," without the "under God," inclusion which, according to famous comedian Red Skelton, wasn't added until after both Hawaii and Alaska was admitted to the union . The Bellamy flag salute became controversial when the Nazis adopted it during WWII. Congress then amended the Flag Code.
