I believed that the Pledge of Allegiance went: "...and to the Republic, for Richard Stans,..." I always wondered who Richard Stans was, and why he was so important that he made it into the Pledge. I asked my mom one day who he was and why I wanted to know. She just kind of smiled and explained the problem to me lol.
