today in history, our national anthem
Sept. 14, 1814-----Francis Scott Key composed the lyrics to "The Star Spangled Banner" after witnessing the massive British bombardment of Fort McHenry in Maryland.

"Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause is just, and this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
God bless America!
