National Anthem Day

Today is National Anthem Day. Please remember how great of a country we are privileged to live in. The crisis with Russia is a reminder. Let us pray all goes well and war is not needed. What a beautiful song, thanks to Francis Scott Key, written Sept. 20, 1814.
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
