[cheers and applause] [crowd chanting, four more years] good evening america. It is an honor to speak to you tonight from the hallowed grounds of fort mchenry. The site of the very battle that inspired the words of our national anthem. Those words have inspired this land of heroes in every generation since. It was on this site 206 years ago when our young republic heroically withstood a ferocious naval bombardment from the most powerful empire on earth. They came to crush our revolution, to divide our nation, and to end the american experiment. The heroes who held this fort took their stand for life, liberty, freedom, and the american flag. And those ideals have to defined our nation. But they were hardly ever mentioned in last weeks Democratic National convention. Instead, democrats spent four days attacking america.

That spirit lived on to win liberty in the revolution, and bold and the underground railroads, strengthened the brave souls of normandy, it endured with those who gallantly fought the spread of communism, and on 9 11, that same spirit was found in the men and women storming the gates to save precious lives. Heroism thrives in the presence of tyranny, disaster. It is stronger than antivirus. Then any virus. What there are those who seek to erase history and deconstruct the american ideal, remake america into something it was never intended to be. The spirit of heroism stands in the breach, lives in the heart, it breathes in the soul and is woven into the courageous fabric of americans like you. It preserves liberty. It strengthens families. It empowers the extraordinary. The spirit of heroism inspires us to act when others are in need. To build the right things. Join us tonight. Dream heroi
