USA National Anthem

 The national anthem of the United States of America is "The Star-Spangled Banner." The lyrics were written by Francis Scott Key in 1814 during the War of 1812, and the music is derived from a British song called "To Anacreon in Heaven." The song was officially recognized as the U.S. national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931.

The lyrics of "The Star-Spangled Banner" are:

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
