THE FLAG IS STILL THERE The actual American flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write “The Star Spangled Banner” is on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. During the War of 1812, Key was on a British ship trying to negotiate the release of some hostages. When he looked out and saw the American flag still flying over Fort McHenry, he was so inspired that he wrote a poem called “The Star Spangled Banner.” The rest is national anthem history.
