... that today is Star Spangled Banner Day? In 1814, Fort
McHenry was successfully defended against a bombing by English
ships. This act inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star
Spangled Banner. It became well known as a patriotic song to
the tune of a popular English drinking song, To Anacreon in
Heaven. Although the song has four verses, only the first is
commonly sung today.
