President Trump: Every Time We Sing Our Anthem, ‘We Renew the Eternal Bonds of Loyalty to Our Fallen Heroes’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Francis Scott Key was so inspired by the sight of our flag in the battle, waged that the very grounds that he fought on became hallowed, and he wrote a poem. His ageless words became the anthem of our nation. The Star-Spangled Banner. Every time we sing our anthem, every time its rousing chorus swells our hearts with pride, we renew the eternal bonds of loyalty to our fallen heroes. We think of the soldiers who spent their final heroic moments on distant battlefields to keep us safe at home. We remember the young Americans who never got the chance to grow old, but whose legacy will outlive us all. In every generation, these intrepid souls kissed goodbye to their families and loved ones. They took flight in planes, set sail in ships, and marched into battle with our flag, fighting for our country, defending our people."
