Honor America Day

Honor America Day was a rally put together by supporters of President Richard Nixon in 1970 to counter national outrage over the Cambodian invasion and the Kent State University killings. Co-chaired by Bob Hope, the rally took place in Washington, DC on July 4, 1970.

Billy Graham gave the keynote address:

Some people saw it as a political pro war rally and protested by jumping in the pool and chanting antiwar slogans.

A live album of the event, titled Proudly They Came...to Honor America was later released.
