I too am a vet that supports the idea that our official language should be English (The official language not saying others can't be spoken). As long as the wording and meaning isn't changed and that the pledge is being spoken in Spanish as a learning tool I have no problem with it. If it is being taught other than a learning tool or paying culture homage I am against it. In the case of French (Creole French if you will) think of the men and women that have fought and died for this country that only spoke that language. Case in point is how Louisiana got to be Fighting Tigers (legend is it comes from the civil war). I don't find speaking our oaths in another language simply to understand it and learn is disrespectful or harms our heritage. I do think doing it for other reasons very well could. Ok I've run my mouth too much and its just my 2 cents. Basically there is no absolute right or wrong answer.
