"I have been complaining about this for ages. Religious issues aside, it is positively criminal to ruin the cadence of another person's poem like that." -- viaticus, 2005-09-20, on the subject of the phrase "under God" being added to the Pledge of Allegiance on 1954-06-14. (The Pledge was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy.)

Note that a similar complaint could be made about the change in 1923-1924 to replace "my Flag" with "the Flag of the United States of America."

Note also that today is the anniversary of "In God We Trust" being added to US currency, in 1955.
