On this day in 1814, 35-year-old lawyer Francis Scott Key wrote the poem the “Defense of Fort McHenry” after witnessing the bombardment of the Fort, which became our National Anthem. Playing the Star-Spangled Banner in these hallowed grounds was an amazing experience and we hope that this performance instills pride in our country and reminds our citizens of our nation’s strength and resilience. #usarmybands #dontstopthemusic #songsofcomfort #militarymusic #armymusic #patriotism #nationalanthem |

To commemorate its 209th anniversary, National Park Service Ranger Stephen performs "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Fort McHenry.
