Today in U.S. #History: On September 14, 1814, U.S. Soldiers at Fort McHenry raised a huge American #flag to celebrate a crucial victory over British forces during the War of 1812. The sight of those “broad stripes and bright stars” inspired Francis Scott Key to write the song that would become our Nation's anthem. #starspangledbanner #oldglory #goarmy #myindependence #miindependencia
