Spangled Banner
O, say! can you see by the dawn's

early light  What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight O're the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?  And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave O're the land of the free and the home of the brave?
By Francis Scott Key - September,20, 1814
Congress proclaimed it the U.S. National Anthem in 1931.

Key penned the words to our national anthem while

watching the British naval attack on Baltimore's Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. Key turned them into a poem, "The Defense of Fort McHenry." which he published in 1814. 
It was Key's brother-in-law, Judge Joseph H. Nicholson, who married the poem's words to the the tune of a popular English drinking song ("To Anacreon in Heaven") to produce "The Star Spangled Banner." The English drinking song was written in 1780 by John Stafford Smith. 
Fittingly, it was the US Navy that was the first arm of the United States to adopt the song as its own, in 1869. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson began to use it for official government business, and in 1931 President Herbert Hoover signed into law the resolution by which "The Star Spangled Banner" became the national anthem of the United States.
