A moment of silence took place before "God Bless America" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" were played.
The 188-year-old flag that inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner" is so fragile that it can never be hung again.
The famous Star-Spangled Banner may not have been raised until first light on September 14.
The section on the War of 1812, for example, contains three fragments of the Star-Spangled Banner that were clipped off as souvenirs in the 19th century.
