President Donald Trump recognized Pearl Harbor Day on Thursday, delivering a speech remembering the fateful attack and the war that followed.

During his speech, one of the World War II veterans, Michael “Mickey” Ganitch, interrupted and started singing the song “Remember Pearl Harbor”:

Trump was delighted by the song.
