This is as good as it gets...

I received this in a forward from my grandma, and I could not resist sharing it here for Flag Day. You really have to hear this one.

This is as good as it gets.

Some of you may remember him but he passed away before many of you were born. Red Skelton was a good & funny man. He also ended every show by saying, 'GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS'. Listen to the end of this. It is something he said 38 years ago.

Very important that you listen to the very end!! Eerie! Take a moment and listen to it (from 1969). How would he have known that this is what is happening? Click on the link, and turn your sound on.

They played the video from that at the Republican State Convention here (Texas) just this weekend. I've heard the audio a number of times already, but it was awesome to actually see it! And when he just does the Pledge, everyone on the floor stood up spontaneously and did it as well - that was at least 4000 people. Awesome.

Wow!! That must have been something else. The 4000 people all saying the Pledge in unison must have been an incredibly moving moment. :-)
