Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ashton Hutchings and I'm 16 years old.
Yes, I know I'm young, but I'm not okay with what is going on in this country today.
And neither are you, and that's why we're here.
Together, our voices will be heard.
And we will make Congress and the White House know what we stand for
and know that what's going on is not okay.
Today I am singing God Bless the USA.
It's one of my favorite songs, and I think it stands for everything that America is.
And I want to dedicate it to the troops who are fighting for us today, fighting for our freedom.
And I want everyone who stood up earlier when my dad was speaking,
everyone who stood up and who has already fought for us and who have already put in their time.
Thank you all for coming out, and I hope you enjoy it.
