I graduated from high school in 1952 which ended most of the pledge opportunities. When the pledge changed a couple of years later, I can only remember being surprised that "under God" was added.


In fact, I can remember the first year or two at school, at the words "allegiance to" we turned our arm, palm up towards the flag. That was stopped at the start of WWII because it looked similar to the nazi salute.
I have only known 'under god' in the pledge, so i really couldnt imagine it any other way..
