Tonight, exactly 200 years ago, Francis Scott Key witnessed the shelling of Fort McHenry by British forces during the night of Sept. 13-14, 1814. Key was elated to see the American flag still flying the next morning. He wrote out four stanzas of a poem titled “Defence of Fort M’Henry,” which was quickly published as a broadside and set to a well-known tune. Most people dont even know there is a 3rd and 4th stanza ... ... so here is the FULL National Anthem, in all its glory. https://youtube/watch?v=M1wLtAXDgqg
