He wanted to remind Americans of the true meaning of the words which they say before the start of school every day.

The variety show had first aired as "Swing Out, Sweet Land" on NBC. It's Amazon purchase description explains:

"Lavish and thoughtful timepiece of 20th-century television and entertainment, presenting a parade of legendary stars in a humorous and hopeful celebration."

The series came about as a result of protests regarding Vietnam. It further showcased how, even at that time, people started pushing aside the idea of showing patriotism and there was a need to resurrect it.
