President Donald Trump took the field before the college football national championship game Monday night.

Trump walked out with members of the Georgia ROTC before the Alabama Crimson Tide played the Georgia Bulldogs. The president strolled to the middle of the field to participate in the national anthem before the much-anticipated game played in Atlanta. Both school bands played and Trump put his hand on his heart as the soldiers saluted.

There was a moment, however, when the crowd cheered the loudest.

Right in the middle of the anthem, the camera cut to the screens and you could see a live shot of a military base. Inside the base, the soldiers were standing at attention for the anthem.

The crowd went wild.

You can see the moment in the video below at minute 3:15.
