TIFU by agreeing to do the pledge

If you're in America, you've said the pledge of allegiance countless times because of school. If you're like I was in high school, you thought you were real cool expressing your right to not say the pledge like the other countless sheep. Lo and behold, several years, maturity, and some responsibility later, I'm asked to recite the pledge on mic in front of a crowd made up of veterans, and a number of older people who have almost all had some connection to the military, and that I respect.

And thanks to my years of being way too cool, I fuck up saying the pledge >.>
