White House Chief of Staff John Kelly was captured in a photo helping to fix a tangled American flag at President Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Dan Scavino Jr., the director of social media for the White House, tweeted out the picture Sunday with the quote, "Once a Marine, always a Marine."
