Star Spangled Banner
Baltimore 1813. Claggett's Brewery. It was not until 1933 that Congress adopted the Defense of Fort McHenry aka Star Spangled Banner as our National Anthem. Anthem carries religious connotations and well it might. It is part of my Hymnal. I wonder if that included the last stanza where Key wrote, "And this be out motto:-- "In God is our trust!"? Probably. I wonder if it would be accepted today, given that it is in our species? I doubt it
