The Star Spangled Banner

Goshen College in Indianahas banned the National Anthem at its sporting events because they see it as too violent in nature.Perhaps this is a big time to reflecton the originsofournation`s anthem.

After the British bombing of Fort McHenry in 1814, Sir Francis Scott Key wrote a poem after seeing the flag still standing. We`ve all sung the lyrics numerous times with pride.
