The Star Spangled Banner...

The Star Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key in 1814 and became our National Anthem in 1931.

The Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hail'sd at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stipes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming,

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof tho' the night that our flag was still there,

O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
