    Good How can there be different versions of the pledge? Is it that each state technically has their own pledge?

      Under god is part of the pledge from my understanding. Beyond that, other states do have their own pledges.

        The “under god” portion was added in the 50s or 60s, same with adding “in god we trust” to all currency

      We added “under God” to the pledge in the 50s or 60s. At the same time we put “In God We Trust,” on the dollar. We were differentiating against the USSR which was an atheist state.

      If you were expecting me to play google and give you a rundown on pledge of allegiance modern history, I’m afraid you’ve hit a dead end.
