The Star Spangled Banner

We sing our national anthem but most of us have never heard the story behind the song. I received an email this morning with the story of the national anthem as an attachment. I don't know who put this together but I wanted to share it anyway.


Since it is flag day on Sunday we should take a moment to remember what our flag means to us and the great patriots, past and present, who have fought for our country who have given us the freedoms we now enjoy.

In spite of the great economic turmoil that we are currently in, we have so much to be grateful for. We live in a land of unprecedented freedom and opportunity. If we don't like the way things are for ourselves we have the freedom to do something about it. Let's make sure to take a moment and remember what we have and those who have made it possible.
