I was listening to the VA guy do the Pledge of Allegiance in Illinois Trump rally, I didn't recognize it. I was doing the pledge in grade school in the 70's.

It originally was not in the Pledge. It was added in 1954 because people thought it sounded the same as communist creed without it. Then, in 2002 or 2003, a California court attempted to remove it. That decision however was eventually overruled by SCOTUS, and so it still remains today. I guess it is up to individuals how they want to say it.
But it is instructive to note the pledge without God is actually the original one.
In God we trust was made the national motto, I know that, so that's cool. I love our National Motto on all of our legal tender.
