Our national anthem this evening will be sung by PVA member and United States Navy veteran Angela Walker. 

[applause]

[voice singing] O, say, can you see,

by the dawn's early light,

what's so proudly we hailed

at the twilight's last gleaming,

whose broad stripes and bright stars

through the perilous fight,

and the ramparts, we watched

were so gallantly streaming,

and the rocket's 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,  

O'er the land of the free 

and the home of the brave.

[applause]

Retire the colors.
