From the Smitsonian National Museum of American History: "On September 14, 1814, U.S. soldiers at Baltimore’s Fort McHenry raised
a huge American flag to celebrate a crucial victory over British forces
during the War of 1812. The sight of those 'broad stripes and bright
stars' inspired Francis Scott Key to write a song that eventually
became the United States national anthem. Key’s words gave new
significance to a national symbol and started a tradition through which
generations of Americans have invested the flag with their own meanings
and memories."
From the Smithsonian National Museum of American History: "The Smithsonian's National Museum of American
History will commemorate the U.S. flag's 232nd birthday with its annual 'Flag Day Family Celebration.' With its 'broad stripes and bright
stars,' the American flag is the symbol of our nation. The free
festival, Sunday, June 14, from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., will feature music,
theatrical performances and other activities."
