Yesterday marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of the “Star-Spangled Banner”. On September 14, 1831, Francis Scott Key penned a poem about the American flag flying over Fort McHenry in Baltimore following a victory against British forces in the War of 1812. However, it wasn’t until 1931 that the “Star-Spangled Banner” became the national anthem. amhistory.si.edu/starspangledbanner/
