Rick Stacy leads Pledge of Allegiance discussion at Supervisors meeting

In a heartfelt moment during the Walworth County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 10, 2025, members took a pause to reflect on the significance of the Pledge of Allegiance. Supervisor Rick Stacy initiated the discussion, recalling a poignant story by comedian Red Skelton that emphasizes the meaning behind each word of the pledge.

Stacy shared a personal memory of his teacher, Mr. Lasswell, who once explained the pledge's deeper significance to his class. He highlighted themes of individual commitment, unity, and the values of freedom and justice that the pledge represents. This reflection served as a reminder of the importance of civic duty and the shared love for the country.

Following this tribute, the board recited the Pledge of Allegiance together, reinforcing their commitment to the community and the principles it stands for. The meeting proceeded with a roll call, confirming a quorum of supervisors present to conduct county business.

This moment of unity and reflection underscores the board's dedication to fostering a sense of community and patriotism among its members and constituents. As Walworth County continues to navigate its governance, such reminders of shared values play a crucial role in guiding their decisions and actions moving forward.
