People keep linkin to Francis Bellamy’s Wikipedia as source for this. Haven’t read it myself yet. Seems more likely that they capitalized after creation, when they realized some money could be made.
Can’t imagine theres tons of money in flags but who knows.

and to the republic for which it stands

The pledge was invented by a flag salesman. So the cheap flag in every classroom is the point.
I would love to believe this but i can’t find any evidence. Do you have a source?
