    Happy Anniversary Star Spangled Banner

    92 years ago on March 3, 1931 President Hoover signed into law a bill which made the Star Spangled Banner the national anthem of the United States. How many know the history of the words penned by Francis Scott Key and the circumstances in which he wrote the words in 1814 so many of us take for granted now? The original name of Key's manuscript was "The Defence of Fort M'Henry" to be sung to the tune of a popular English club song known as "The Anacreontic Song". This history is worth the read.

    I didn't either. And the further I got into it, the more intriguing it became.
