The poet Francis Scott Key wrote a poem about the british/american war at Fort McHenry in 1814. He matched it to an English tune of that time called "To Anacreon in Heaven." In 1931, the U.S. Congress inacted the song titled "The Star Spangled Banner" to be my country's national anthem. Here are the words: Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through 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? You can learn of this wonderful poet at usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/symbols.htm
