This weekend (Sat/Sun) is the 200th anniversary of the battle of Fort McHenry, the origin of “The Star-Spangled Banner” poem.  This is a good time to remember out National anthem.

Below are links to a couple of music renditions.   I failed to find an acceptable, all-verse vocal.  I find the 4th verse at least as inspiring as the first.

Don’t forget to fly your flag.  It does NOT have to have 15 stars/15 stripes (like the Star Spangled Banner had).
