The Star Spangled Banner

Words Written by Francis Scott Key

Music by John Stafford Smith
Oh, say can you see by the dawns early light?
what so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming,
whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight
oer the ramparts we watched
were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
oer the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The Pledge of Allegiance

Words by Francis Bellamy
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Flag Etiquette
[SEC 171 United States Code]
During the rendition of the national anthem when the flag is
displayed, all present, except those in uniform, should stand at attention
facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform
should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the
left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should
render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this
position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present
should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if
the flag were displayed there.
(Pub. L. 94-344, July 7,1976, 90 Stat. 812.)

2016 Republican National Convention
Monday, July 18 Thursday, July 21, 2016
Cleveland, Ohio

As Americans, we face a critical decision this year about the

future direction of our country. We must decide whether to
continue the failed policies and path started by the Clinton
Administration, expanded upon by the Obama Administration,
and now proposed by Hillary Clinton. Or, we can choose to
pursue a better direction that will lead our country towards
brighter prosperity for our future generations.
We need real leadership.
Donald Trump is the very definition of the American success
story, continually setting the standards of excellence, while
expanding his interests in real estate, sports, and entertainment.
This week, the Republican National Convention will share the
stories of Republicans from around the country who want to
Make America Great Again and know that Donald Trump is the
man who can get it done.
The program this week will highlight speakers, films, live
remotes, and other testimonials that showcase Americans who
believe in Donald Trumps leadership and his vision for our
country.

Tuesday, July 19 Make America Work Again

Wednesday, July 20 Make America First Again
