Life in The OC is full of reflection.
Before Saturday’s Nextel Cup rave, the Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
From nascar.com’s “We Wonder” segment…
… how long has it been since you said the Pledge of Allegiance?
As a military man whose name escapes me recited the Pledge of Allegiance during pre-race ceremonies Saturday night, I found myself trying to remember the last time I had said it.
I couldn’t remember. Then I wondered why.
I once heard comedian Lewis Black call the Pledge “coffee for elementary school students.” On this day especially, I think we all could use a second cup.
I just wanted to thank Mark Spoor, the writer of the column. Like me, he is originally from upstate New York. I’ve chatted with him via email once or twice, and he’s a great guy. I just wanted to say it’s great of him to note what happened this day and to point out that like me, he will never forget what happened on September 11th, 2001.
